here ya go.

Here is the excerpt from Jens on changing the "panel filter":


To access the interior air filters you will need a Phillips screwdriver, a pocket flat blade screwdriver and a sharp knife. Open the glove box and empty it of whatever you have been hiding in there.

There is an air piston on the right side that slows the opening speed it is attached to the door with a screw, remove the screw, and pop off the air piston.

There are two stops on the inside the glove box, pop both out with the small flat blade (screwdriver?).

The glove box will now open downwards, there are two Phillips screws holding the door to the dashboard structure. Remove both screws. The door can now be removed.

You will now see two Phillips screws that appear to hold nothing in place, remove these. Leave the metal clips in place.

There is a serrated panel visible -- it must be cut away from the dashboard structure. Save this panel as it is to be reused later.

There is now a vertical white plastic panel visible that can be snapped out of the way and removed.

The filters are the two vertical boxes that are now visible. Remove the bottom one first by pulling it towards you then lower the upper one and remove it as well.

Exchange the filters noting that they have arrows on them for airflow. The boxes that contain the filters are marked as well. Install the filters in the boxes and reassemble the filters into the air box. Take the white panel and snap it back in place.
.
Now take the previously cut out plastic panel and turn it so the two hooks engage the two slots in the dash structure. The two screws that did not do anything are now used to secure this panel in place.

Reassemble the glove box in reverse fashion from disassembly.


This job should take you about twenty minutes or less.

p.s. i just changed my filter this afternnon following the above directions and I went very smooth..

(12,700 miles) and they were dirty

It helps if you have a pair if side cuts instead of using a utility knife... much easier ..

They're a little tricky but there is no need to break them. You need to pry on the back (inside the glovebox) until they pop loose. Then pull them out through the inside of the box.

.. Like ChadT said... read jens directions above...BUT close the glove box half way..... reach your hand in there and pop them into the glove box with a screw driver.
