So today I decided to take a look at the cabin air filter for no good reason other than the fact that I was curious
I dropped the glove compartment and tried to open the "service door" as it's referred to in the owners manual and found I could not!
The post on the right side of the door which is a molded part of the dash is stopping the service door from opening. Of course it is plastic so I could probably bend and force it, but that doesn't seem right.
So I'm assuming someone else must have changed this filter by now, what am I missing?
