If it's the evaporator leaking in the climate unit that is fairly easy to check. They should have added leak detection dye to the a/c refrigerant. After running the system for awile with the leak detection dye in it, they can pull the side panel off the climate unit (same panel to access the cabin air filter) then remove the cabin filter and check the evaporator for leaks with a black light.
If the evaporator is leaking, you don't remove the dashboard to replace it. The only other parts you have to remove to take out the evaporator is the blower motor. It has to come out for access to the evaporator pipes.
