9-3SS is a piece of cake!

I have done this twice now on the wife's 9-3SC. Might be as little as five minutes - no tools required! The filter latches can be strange the first time you see them but everything is quick and easy.
Plus, it can be done from a standing position!
Raise the hood, lift the cowl piece on the right side (which has a hinge point molded in to make it easier clearing the hood corner), lift out or push aside the secondary water shield (thin plastic tray that was added in '04 or '05), undo two latches securing the filter frame, lift out the old filter. Almost takes longer to type the instructions than perform the job.
I relied to a poster in London on another board today who expressed dismay at not being able to find the right sized filter for his 1999 9-5. Turns out his car still has the original thin pleated filter with rack for activated carbon bag. Original filter after 16 years! Ehttp://wwwww.
I haven't done this filter change yet on my Viggen. I wonder how difficult it is on a OG9-3?
