OK last post. Looking at the connector and what is going on I think I would like to try to put a new end on the old one as it does not look damaged once it goes up into the taped part.

It looks like I need 61136901847 to make new ends and then 61138387214 to hold them. LAst questions

1. How should I cut the fiber runs? I am guessing it is pretty particular and I would need a nice clean cut
2. How do I strip the green coating of the fiber to get to the black undercoating? I know how to do this with wire but again think I need to be careful
3. Once stripped and down to the black how do I make the fiber stay in the 61136901847 part above? From existing I see a black blob near the end of 61136901847 inside holding the fiber in place.

Is there any chance I can make this work or should I just take it to a dealer? if I do a new fiber run does it go all the way to the junction in the trunk?
