Cabin filter

[joewalk68]

I want to change the cabin filter in my 04 996 Cab; the torx screw just turns, will not tighten or loosen. I can reach under the panel and apply upward pressure but still nothing. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so what is the remedy?

The rubber mounted "thread-sert" come loose easily as you noticed. If you sideload the torx screw it may unthread like you want it to or you can probably just pull the whole panel out with little resistance.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.
