Cabin filter tips

The blowers are pretty tough, but it will have a much easier time now.

I replace the filters after reading all above notes. I like to improve the procedures by following: Only remove the metal screws,Do Not touch the two rubber screws, the two screws have no function to secure the glove box. Metal screws are six, two in front, two on bottom of box covered by rubber cover, two next to light on top. You have to jerk very hard in upward 45 degree angle to get it off. Almost seem like to broke the glove, you just have to give yourself confidence that all you need to do and nothing is securing the box now.
After I replace the filters, I filed down the black plastic tabs, five of those, 3 on the bottom, 2 on top, in an angle of 45 degree towards the front, and the center top rectangle tabs next to the light, so it will be easy to remove next time.

thanks dai. i'd like to add that all i used was a regular table knife (unsharpened; more of a butter knife) to press the middle of the plastic top of the glovebox down so it would be easier to remove. sinceit's a butter knife it's not all that dangerous and don't jerk it HARD, just pull with a bit of force but not too much force so you don't break anything.

the rubber screws did prevent me from removing the glove box, though, so I would recommend taking those out. there's a hole for them in the glove box and holes for them in the glovebox to screw in, so it seems you do have to remove them to take out the glovebox. i did not have to file down the plastic tabs; i just pushed it back into place.

The rubber screws align the door so it sits flush without rattling. Don't even move them.

i recall needing to take them out as they screw in pretty tight & attach the box to the interior backing..
