Danny, the filter is behind the glove compartment. Just pull in the sides of the plastic glove box (door is open when you do this) and it will rotate out. This was not as obvious on mine as I thought but it does work. The in-cabin filter is actually two peices in there. Just take them out and put the new ones in and snap the plastic box back until the tabs lock. No sense paying someone a ton of money for that.
BTW, my wife's Saturn filter can be changed in less than 60 seconds and they want something like $50 labor for that!!

My snaps as I recall were little plastic tabs on the sides of the glovebox. I had to pull the sides inward to release them but it was very easy once I understood the mechanism. I did not have any bolts to work with and the filters are just laying in there.

Go here and look about halfway down the page. There are the installation instructions.

Be careful. I broke the tab when replacing mine. I didn't force it, just a flaw in the design . Luckily, if you look right next to the tab there's a little hole which looks like you can use a screw on, maybe they expect these to break. I used a zip tie to hold the cover on rather than a screw.
