This was one of the more painful cabin air filter replacement's I've done.
Why they put it in such an obscure place with no space to even open the door/flap completely is beyond me.
I come from japanese cars and they are literally one or two screws/clips from accessing the cabin filter.

Huge help. Thanks for the pics and required tools list. I needed an 8mm deep socket to remove the nuts. Upon removing the old filter pair, I discovered that each faced different directions for air flow from the previous installer. I installed the new ones so that both pointed air flow in the same direction. Reinstalling the upper filter took some patience and a lot of bending to get it fitted. I’m still not sure it’s seated correctly; there’s no way to tell visually. Anyway thanks for the great info.
