Cabin air filter
Just a note that may help someone out...
Changing the cabin air filter is kind of a ***** as I just found out.
Its in a tricky spot and you need to scrunch the filter up to get it to fit into the slot. Here's my advice: go with an OEM ONLY.
I purchased a sweet aftermarket charcoal filter.. and its quality was better than the flimsy OEM which I took out, but this made it realllllly hard to replace. You need the flimsiness of the oem because you need to almost fold the filter to drop it in. My aftermarket was thicker and better quality but that made it almost impossible to get in! Cant tell you how bad it broke my *****. I think If I had gone with another OEM it would have been MUCH easier.

Awesome!
I'll probably try this out next time I replace mine... It's the exact size? (I've seen 2 or 3 brands of filters that say they're for our car but aren't even close)
So next year I'll start a new post saying the exact same thing say you have here... LOL
