Save the manuals
I'm wondering if taking out the glove box is really necessary, or if he just did that to show you what the fixture looks like.

I did this two weeks ago and didn't notice the screw at 0:50 on the video. Thought it was just a clip holding it in there and broke that end piece of off the lower dash cover. Didn't seem to lose my rigidity, though. Oh and the carbon filled air filter i used definitely helps with oders. I could tell when driving by the local sewage plant, it wasn't as harsh.

It "dose" have to be replaced.rizzy said:
Replaced the cabin air filters today. Nasty. Wish I had a portable vac to get the leaves in the compartment the filter housings sit in. Money saved by DIY'ing this help fund (and rationalize in my mind) the impact driver I used for this. 
In case it helps someone, one thing I find helpful when disassembling things that have multiple screws, nuts, etc., is to use a small parts organizer (very helpful if you get interrupted in the middle of a project and have to come back to it later). I scribble a note on where each fastener came from on a scrap of paper and place it with the fastener into a compartment. $4 for the organizer and a little time to write where each fastener came from, but it saves a lot of time in looking for screws/nuts and figuring out where they go when reassembling. And for repeat projects like cabin air filter replacement, I keep those scraps of paper, sequenced in order of disassembly, in a paper clip. Just make sure to resist the temptation to use the organizer for permanent storage - keep one empty so that it's ready to go for the next project.
