How to replace the air conditioning radiator without removing the dashboard

Model: Kia Optima / K5 JF, MK 4 - Years 2015-2020
Part: Dashboard

In this video we can see how to remove the air conditioning radiator from its housing, to repair or replace it, without having to disassemble the entire dashboard. In this case, the operation is done on a Kia Optima, but the system is valid for most BMWs; Warning: not all cars are made this way, so the system may not be valid for all vehicles. We will only need to remove the glove compartment (we are of course talking about a left-hand drive): on the left we will find a plastic partition, and from here we can simply remove the radiator by pulling it towards us.
