I did it last summer. I had a nasty smell on hot days in the cabin. It solved the problem. Which was a bit surprising because the filter did not look that bad and I could not detect any smell to it.
It is pretty straight forward to swap. I found the instructions on this website. Search my posts (cuz I posted the same question last summer) and you should find it.
BTW, be careful of a little 2-wire connector on the left side of that panel liner that get pulled down and out of the way. It is really flimsy. Not sure what it goes to as it I don't think its a light. Mine came apart, and I'm not sure I got it back together correctly. I haven't noticed anything malfunctioning though.
The whole job only took about 15 minutes max and a trip to the chiropractor! Getting too old to climb around in floor boards.
Good Luck.
