Sell the car?
Since the recommended cleaning interval is 50,000 miles, taking the cover off isn't that big of a deal for most. It's more of an "I'll only have to do it once." Kinda deal. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk |

Just spit-balling since I've never actually seen the physical setup, but can you get to them by pulling the cooling plate?

 You can see the filters, from several points, but to really remove them you have to pull the bumper. I was hesitant to pull the trigger on the filter setup myself because of the pull the bumper part too, but honestly once you pulled the bumper once it's no big deal. It really is quick and easy once you know what you're doing. It's just held on with a handful of clips, and two bolts (not counting the bolts in the bottom plastic pan that you remove for oil changes). |

Just got done cleaning mine. Personally, I don't see anyway to do it without removing the fascia.
