2002 SAAB 93 2.3 turbo petrol, pollen filter fitted where?

I am a vehicle tech and just recently carried out a service on the above and along with the service kit was given a pollen filter. I checked all the usual places without any success, so decided to phone local saab branch who tells me its under glove box nsf, they openly admitted to not changing them because it involved de-gassing the air con and removing the glove box and removing the pipes from around the matrix which i did, guess what, NO pollen filter there. Any ideas where? Any help would be appreciated

Can't believe they told you that!

Take off both windscreen wipers, remove the scuttle trim(you have to disconnect the washer tube on the nearside)then remove the black plastic water tray. You will then see the pollen filter! Takes about 10 mins to change.
Reply:try under the window wipers below the plastic there are a lot of saabs that have the pollen filters there good luck ;)
Reply:That is where it should have been, If it is not new then someone may have removed the old one.
Reply:hahah it obviously wasnt a dealership. yah u may have to take the passenger windshield wiper arm off as well...but yah its under that plastic cowl
