The aircon plugs are under the front "bonnet". Which needs special way to be lifted up AND closed down. Some of the general indie shop service guys might only open / lift it from the windscreen end but it is the wrong way!
Here Pat shows the proper way (2:20 onwards):
Its up to you if you want to risk it or try to explain the indie guys how its done. The closing it is even trickier as it has to be carefully "synced" with both sides, or else one side can touch the fender / headlight assembly.
