Remember FORD has a better idea...2020 Ford fusion. Have to remove two side / trim panels, four bolts pull out the entire glove box to reach the cabin filter. Any other cars out there that are PITA?

So when the CAF is removed, a structural void is created, which could possibly cause the vehicle to collapse around this area. Will it create an Automotive Black Hole. Keep in mind i've only been awake 15 minutes.Versa also a pain. First thing on the assembly line is a cabin filter, then they built the car around it.
I have a 2020 F150. You can pull down the glove box and let it hang. However-it's easily one of the worst vehicles I have over owned for changing the cabin air filter.My F150 is 'by the book' a similar process except you can actually get to it without pulling the glove box. You might skin a knuckle, but it can be done with less steps.
The initial replacement of the cabin air filter on the 2nd generation Honda Odyssey (1999-2004) minivan is a P.I.T.A. Not only do you have to completely remove the glovebox and assorted trim pieces, you have to cut out a plastic crossmember brace behind it with a Sawzall! The metal brace in front of the plastic crossmember is re-installed with 8mm bolts & phillips head screws so no additional cutting is required on subsequent CAF replacements. This is discussed at 3 minutes into the attached video.
My past few hondas have been super easy to change...Just lower the glovebox and you are looking right at it...
