Not all of em', but quite a few!

The evaporator should be behind the glove box - I don't think you need to remove the dash to replace it.

I've never pulled one either. :huh:

Check the Service Manual link Vol. 1,
section......

AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL) 1B-39
COOLING UNIT (EVAPORATOR)
REMOVAL

for details.

This can be done for a 03-05 model with the new dash design too? The Service Manual is for 99-02 model ,but is a good start point .

The reason I said should is because I'm not 100% certain - that's where it is on the earlier model GVs and most Suzukis I've worked on - it should take you no more than five minutes to confirm.

I can confirm that,today i managed to install the evaporator without removing the dash. It was installed from the compartment located behind glove box,it a easy task (2-3 hours of work).

Not a whole lot of room to work under there.
