Cabin air filter replacement

[Jeff2017]

Is there a trick to getting the two tabs at the bottom of the cabin air filter to release? I cannot get my fingers in behind the tabs and there is a plastic thingy in the middle that needs to be pushed up while pulling out the tab. I am trying to push a flat head screw in the middle of the tab to release the plastic lock while pulling out. But it isn't working and I don't want to break the tab.

Never mind I got it. Just needed to use more force.

I use a flat blade screwdriver to get the tabs. Just push down on them lightly and they pop.

Mine was never changed when I bought the car 2 years ago. And it’s a 2010.

Bet that thing looked nasty. I can't believe how dirty they get in just one year.

I change mine every year too. It is quite nasty.
