Cabin air filter problem on 2009 Chrysler Town and Country?

Quoted..."Still Does not make sense. For 2008 Town and Country Touring, 3.8L engine -- the Owners Manual doesn't resemble mechanically what is behind the glove box. There is some kind of curved perforated metal housing, but no accessible bolts, tabs or brackets that resemble a panel to remove to gain access to a filter. Perhaps this model does not have an A/C filter? Thank you, please advise?"

My 2009 is similar to this problem, however Chrysler must have replaced 'metal mesh' with 'plastic mesh'. There are no clips, only screws that cannot be accessed w/o a 90 degree screwdriver. There is a 'sueded cardboard covering' below this, under the glove box. After removing that to expose bottom of 'meshed' screen area, still no opening with accessible 'clips'.

And probably a part of the question you can't answer, why isn't there a cabin filter on some models of the Town & Country van??
