It is located directly behind the glove box. Use steps below to remove the glovebox without breaking the pivots.

1. Remove the damper clip.
2. Bend the stoppers inward to remove.

3. Open the glove compartment lid until it is completely horizontal and remove the clips by pulling them in the direction of the arrow.
4. Remove the glove compartment.

Cabin air filter cover is right there. Unclip both bottom clips and remove cover.

Is a tight fit on the right side but the filter will give enough to allow removal and reinstall.
