bummer. you may need to take a few things out of your dash if everything is still in there.

take out the glovebox and ashtray as well. since there so easy to take out. that should be good.

The heater core comes out pretty easy too. The two hoses under the hood, and I think 4 bolts. The wires just unclip. That would give you some more room to work as well.

i was going to suggest that, but the cables are prettttty hard to get back on, and on the right pegs. well atleast for me.

You know I never thought of that, mine sprung a leak in the middle of winter, and I never rehooked them just taped them where I needed them to be! So I don't know how hard it is to hook them back up!

Getting the cables connected on the heater AND working correctly is an art form that I haven't mastered. Anyway, I think the aftermarket dash cover on my bump will have to do for now as I am not going to fill all those holes and I am not going to shell out the bread for replacement. Thanks for all the pics and comments.....
