2008 R350. to replace cabin filter, I tried to remove glove compartment with multi cd changer.
But I got stuck at the left upper corner cover even though I unscrewed all visible screws.
I think the multi cd changer got something.
Can anyone have the solution or hidden screws to remove glove compartment?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Next time I will definitely replace cabin filter from hood.

just re assemble it at replace from under hood. I did it via glove comp once... never again. Learn to do it from the hood. will take some jiggling first, I dont recall what side first but its pretty obvious once you look at the space you have.

Yes, take care and put the glove box / dash together again.
Under hood, there is a black grill over the hvac air intake, rear ward of the washer fluid reservoir.
With it off you can reach down to feel the 2 filters in their tray.

You'll want to pick off any loose leaves or trash which might fall into the air handler - maybe a bare shop vac hose could reach...
If I recall, pull the inboard one first. You'll need to bend the near edge up to get it to come on.
The second one will slide sideways before you can pull it.

But, the whole trick is bending them slightly to get them into the tray.
(Huge moneymaker for the dealer! Takes 10 minutes...)

Thanks, both of your kind advice.
I have followed your advice and put them back and replace cabin filter under the hood.
