I removed the Climate Control module a few days ago, sent it out for a refurbishing and LCD replacement. Took 5 minutes to remove, piece of cake. So far so good.

So today, I get the rebuilt unit back and I can't re-install it. There are two white plastic brackets that slide onto the side of the unit on a rail with a retainer at the front where the screws screw in to. If you put the brackets on the "rails", you can't maneuver the unit back into the opening, or at least I can't figure out how to do it.

Anyone know the trick here? Keep in mind this is a '04 Boxster which has 4 mounting screws. I think most of the others have 2 mounting screws and install somewhat differently.
