2019 Nissan Altima is very similar. I agree, it’s aggravating.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?
It's beyond aggravating... it's inexcusable2019 Nissan Altima is very similar. I agree, it’s aggravating.
Dad's 2015 Escape, and brother's 17 escape, it's identical to my Cmax...2016 Ford Cmax
Not real hard but in front of the center console.. Totally blind ordeal...
Once you figure it out it's only a 5 minute job but a blind one on the 2016 Cmax.Dad's 2015 Escape, and brother's 17 escape, it's identical to my Cmax...
if you look up the official instructions, it's similar to what OP posted...
there is of course an "easier" way...
it's slightly easier in the escapes, as they sit a smidge taller than the Cmax.

My Saabs are sub-optimal, too.I also have a 1999 Saab
cabin filter is under the cowl vent
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.
Much like the 3 spark plugs against the firewall, in transverse mounted V-6's, in front wheel drive cars.It seems like they put them in with no intention of them being replaced?
