My Amplify Orange High Wing finally arrived. Lowering the car 3/4” went so well, and there are plenty of u tube videos, so I decided to install it myself. After removing what seemed hundreds of screws and nuts, the bumper was ready to come off. Oops, the table was too far below the car. Of the three connectors, the coax cable for the rear camera was the shortest. Of course the weight of the bumper pulled the coax right out of the connector. I tried to repair it, but I only destroyed the connector. Now I have no rear backup camera. I need help. Is the original connector available? Part number? Is there a way to splice this mini coax cable? I may be removing the bumper again for exhaust mods, so maybe I can lengthen the cable. Help please.

No help for you (although perhaps you can get another connector with wires attach and splice by soldering) BUT for others.
This is a Draft I made in prep to do mine. As typical, videos don't show some of the tricky parts. The 19 pages of pics and captions in this PDF include those from best videos I found: http://netwelding.com/C8_High_Wing.pdf

I don't think he can, that's a mini coax and there is a center conductor with an insulator around it and then a full perimeter ground mesh. We do RG59 coax at work every day (similar to cable TV size) but I've never seen a mini coax connector tool or fittings. They obviously exist, but not common.
I would imagine the nearest dealer parts department will have a schematic for that wiring & tell you if available to order. It MIGHT be same as for C7 rear camera wiring. Good luck 🍀
Man that sucks, good luck in trying to get a connector. But who ever did the paint work did an awesome job matching, looks really really good!
Was that done by EOS??

Yep, understand. Just watched splicing a mini coax cable! Would have been a trip to the electrical outlet to get the connectors BUT would have happened before the bumper was back!
Don't need all his fancy tools BUT do need the splice connector. Or use a connector as used on TV cables!

Pics from Internet search. I would go to an electronics supply house in town to be sure the parts fit the coax cable and check to see what install tools you really need.
