I am in the middle of installing the cabin air filter. Just to clarify, you remove the glove box cover by pulling on the hinges at the bottom and then disconnect the snap holding the nylon cord. You must remove 7 screws to get to where the filter is installed - 4 at the top, 2 on the sides and 1 at the bottom which you can't see until you remove the glove box door. This is where I am having a problem. The filter goes in fine but there are four tabs on the cover that extend into the filter box that are preventing the reinstallation of the cover. Has anyone run into this problem? Upon further review I don't believe CAF 1792 is the right size filter. If you look inside the filter holder there are runners that hold the filter away from the fan and the four tabs on the plastic cover are designed to do the same thing. This filter is too thick to slide on top of the runners and to fit on the tabs. I think you need a thinner filter.
