Has anyone tried to replace the 911 plastic screws that are so difficult to work with (Need quarter) with a different type of plastic screw, such as the ones for the Porsche Macan cabin filter? These are removed by hand by just grasping the tab. Similar to a thumb screw: https://www.macanforum.com/threads/p...-cover.178724/
If it fits or a similar hand screw replacement is known, it would make this task much easier.

I am fat and out of shape but didn’t find it particularly difficult to change out the under dash filter recently. It’s all a matter of finding the right angle for your torso and arm and holding the stubby flathead screwdriver perfectly perpendicular to the plastic screws. 5 minute job. Absolutely no need to pay anyone else to do it.
Just ordered both filters from Pelican for $55 shipped. Not bad! I figured mine haven't been changed since new 2013 (LOL) so it's time.....but the car only has 18xxx miles on it.....soooooo

Im trying to picture this...post a photo for proof:}
I tested the Macan thumbscrew in the 911 & YES, it fits!
2016 Porsche Macan Turbo plastic screw fits 2019 911 Carrera S .
This is the P/N:
Part Number: WHT000155
Supersession(s): WHT-000-155
Fits Macan (2015 - 2023)
Porsche sells for $4+ to $6+ each, LOL.
eBay even more.
Macan plastic screw, fits 911
I may bring one into ACE hardware to see if they have a plastic thumbscrew that matches.
I find it very difficult to screw/unscrew the 911 3rd screw that is far under the dash. Even using a nickel or penny. Worse using a stubby screwdriver.

Gaudin Porsche in Las Vegas had them for $3.92, plus shipping. As usual the PAT makes everything for our cars stupid expensive, but having fought with this once, this will be money well spent for future filter changes.
I did find an image showing the other side. Not only does it have the raised ridge such that it can be finger tightened, but there is what looks like a slot so one could use a stubby w/o needing to worry about angle.
