air conditioning evaporator replacement

Hi peoples,
I have 2010 120 series. the climate control air con has stopped cooling on the passenger side only. local auto electrician tells me evaporator is the problem. normally he only removes the glovebox but because i have a rear air con system with its own controls the whole dash Has to be removed. I am told on the front systems ( single or dual ) there is a cover that can be removed to access the evaporator but having the rear system there is no cover and the whole unit has to be removed.. Does anybody have any ideas on how to get around it or do I just be happy and pay my $1,000. Any advice will be appreciated...Shock

ironically that you live at redcliffe, I had these guys fix mine a year or so ago. he got the evap out without removing the dash but I don't have the rear a/c system as it is only a GX. worth a call.
