The image looks a lot like my car. The arrow points to the glove box but says #1 -Clamp. Photo #2 says Locking Slide. Do you know if this is in the glove box or under it? I took the cover under the glove box off, but couldn't find anything that looked like the photos. Thanks for your help.

Hello,

The location should be behind the glove box compartment.
The filter you purchased is it a set of 2 filters or a single filter?

It is a single filter that folds in half. Do you know how to remove the glove box?

Hello,

The cabin air filter is actually located under the glove box.
Check out this video, it shows little more detail:
