    1) do not remove anything related to windshield wipers.
    2) view hole from below way back behind belly pan: here at least you can see your goal.
    3) remove the jungle of wire brackets and inverter cooling reservoir from up top to allow work from above. After we got done I wondered if we didn't need to do all this time consuming work. You may be able to do more from below, less from above.
    4) From the hatch in the belly pan you can reach the hole and working with buddy you can also unclip the two black wire "conduits" that are taped together that need to be moved to get heater in hole. afterwards the looms can go back where they were.
