at the top of the page, there is "Quick Links", this is a drop down menu, where you will get "Club promo/Workshop Downloads and Useful links". It's in there.

Actually I managed to remove my pollen filter by cheating a bit and only removing the top screws. I did a thread on this too. :thumb2

OK, you will have to post a link to it... I have had a quick look and can't find it...
I really can not see any "shortcuts" to removing the filter, there are too many bits in the way. You have to remove the glove box (2 screws), you then have to remove the side panel (2 I think), then the metal cross bar (3 screws), then 1 screw to be able to slide the filter panel out.

Ah apologies, seems I must have popped them up on Facebook only. Well I lowered the glovebox, I remember removing two screws and pivoting the metal bar right down, it was somewhat stressing the plastic but it was far easier than trying to access the last two screws in the interior plastics, it left just enough room to slide out the pollen filter.

I may have uploaded the pics to the pc but I am about to go to work

If needed I could try and dig out later. Once you start stripping you'll see the shortcut I imagine.

I am really not sure about this shortcut, having done the job using the download sheet as a guide, and it taking so little time, with such little effort..................use the download instructions every time....stressing plastics is not my idea of a good job well done!
