Relocating hvac
 
Before you ask, I've searched the forum for a DIY on moving the HVAC from the bottom to the top. I have a source for the trim piece, just need to know how to move it.

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

I have a post on this.....and carried it out. Try searching under my user ID.

If you don't find it let me know.

The job was very difficult in my car. I had to start a Yoga practice in order to assume the postures required to pull the harness down to the right spots. It's easier if you are not doing the radio. I also split loomed every thing I could in order not to damage wiring

There are other members who have done it as well and they are likely more skill at wiring

I've seen those. None of them tell you how or what to move.

Whatever you disconnect up top you need to pull down south to where you place your hvac panel. Right side and down worked best on my car.
