I will save you some time for your next cabin filter replacement. You don't need to remove any of those screws or panels. Open the glove box and squeeze the sides in. This will allow the glove box to drop down so you can access the filter cover.

If I remove the glove box the complete job takes 10 minutes complete with reinstalling everything . Without removing - at least 15 minutes and some cut hands .. If you think that this post is worthless please delete ..

I wasn't trying to imply that your post was worthless. In fact it is very good information for someone who hasn't replaced their filter. The pictures are very helpful. I was just stating that it can be done without removing the glove box. Takes me about 5 minutes but I have done several.

You get pretty good at changing them when you do them daily. It may be worth noting for your post that the pictures and procedures are the same for the Pathfinder, Frontier and Xterra.

Ditto on only having to remove the glovebox!

Just HOW BIG are your hands?!
