Unclip the filter cover.

The top of the filter has a little hinged cap holding it in. Just pull upward on the front edge, it'll flip up.

The only problem is when it flips up - it hits the plastic panel above it - keeping it from easily moving out of the way. You may want to remove a few of the cowling plastic trim bolts to give it room to pop up. I was able to get enough room by forcing it up and flexing the plastic cowling panel out of the way.

Here's a gif of how the cover closes...

Remove the filter. Just pull it up and out of the housing. I had to squish mine a bit to get it out.

5

Install a new filter.

The new filter goes in one way - check to see that the arrow on yours is pointed the correct direction.

Below you can see the cabin air filter hole without the filter. I placed one side in and squeezed the other side in place.

Take car to make sure the filter sits in the slot correctly. I had to pinch and pull on mine a little bit to get the front flush against the plastic lip.
