There are a lot of self-tapping fasteners on a car. You should be ok. Use steel mesh, the plastic stuff is easier to chew through

After looking at the package on the kitchen counter from Aircabinman thru EBay for at least one week, I finally decided to try for the first time to change both filters.
With the instructions in the owners manual on about page 300, it was SOOO simple to do the A/C filter.
Then came the engine air filter & up went the hood & I was looking for the right place to open. With the new filter in hand it became obvious where it should go. I popped the fastemers, lifted out the old filter & put in the new, replaced the lid & was done in under 15 minuted for both.
With 21,000 miles on our 2006 both filters were dirty enough to change & for about $20 delivered, why not.
This job is truly a not much brainer !
Thanks for the guidance !!
