Very easy if you hit the recirculate air switch first.
Door will open for easy cabin filter removal.
I didn't push that button and it's tough getting that filter out.
Bloodied a finger trying to keep that door open and pull the filter out.
TIP:
Always pays to read the manual BEFORE you do the job.

 

considered youself lucky that you didnt BREAK anything....

another tip: always search the FORUM before any work done!

Yep.
It was a ***** lift that door and trying to get the cabin filter out.

I just broke a couple of cover clips changing the air filter.
Found the technique on getting out and in too late.
Going to check that take off clip thread for the clip part number.
