Has anyone ever dealt with swapping all the parts to move the sensor and what might this entail?

not sure about the 126, but the 123 is a very simple affair. My guess is they are similarly easy. it is a 3 peice assembly that has a grill with a small tube on top and a bigger tube on the bottom, reach through the glove box and unplug the sensor. the top grill snaps into the lower grill with a kind of ratchet so it is as easy as getting under the top grill and gently prying it up. the hole has a key in it to make sure the grill is facing the right way but it should not be to difficult to duplicate. the sensor is attached to the bottom of the grill tube so if you dont unplug it you will have to be careful to feed it up the outer tube On things like this when I am not sure I pull one from a car at the PNP, that way if I mess up removing it its not on my car
