How to relocate climate control wires - bloody hands

[Parker986]

I promise I have spent an hour reading as many posts as I could find trying to learn how others relocated their climate control wires to the lower cubby in the dash when installing a Double DIN. Can't find anything.

So, I have spent the last three hours trying to reroute the wires without success. All I have to show for my efforts are bloody hands.

I unwrapped the two clumps of wires to try to make it easier, but the connectors are making it difficult for me to find a way down. I was able to fish them down are around by the driver's side, but they are too short to connect.

Appreciate any help.
