I know this thread is almost a year old, but I just replaced my cabin filters and have a suggestion. After removing the 2 screws that hold the sealed cover on and pulling it down, if you can remove the old and insert the new filters without releasing the back left tabs that are above the harness cover it makes the job a lot quicker. I think getting these tabs back into position is the most difficult/time consuming part of this job. The tabs on the right side are relatively easy.

After trying repeatedly to get the left tabs in with the filters in place, I ended up removing the filter elements, then re-inserting those left cover tabs into their slots first then flexing the new filters to push them up into position.
