TwinTurbo420, beers on me should we ever cross paths. I just swapped all three on my ‘15 GTS. It was still awkward as all hell to get the originals out, but this will never be a problem again. Here are a couple pics of the old vs. the new.

What would happen if you left this screw out? I did and it has not been an issue where I have to curse. The panel is very secure [super light] up there, that this one screw is not holding it in!

The only possible function I could think of, and that’s a real stretch, is a slight bit of occupant leg protection in a frontal collision should you slide forward or dash parts slide back?

Not that anyone needed another DIY video for this but here's one I made about a year ago.

As for the inside cabin air filter, Porsche should have used a DZUS fastener (in plastic though). Hell, if a DZUS fastener can hold engine cowlings on an aircraft doing a few hundred knots an hour, it can hold a simple foam pad on. The one closest to the firewall is a PITA to get to.
And I should have known better. With a mere 7084 total miles, the outside filter was still pure white. Obviously the inside filter was just as clean. Had to check though due to age.
