Not really. I've only taken the screw out twice. Once was the first time I changed the cabin filter and the second time was when I realized the small "glove box shock absorber" had somehow had become free.
To change the filter, you do NOT have to remove it (the screw), just open the glove box, empty its contents, take both of your index fingers toward the rear of the rear of the box, place them OUTSIDE (on the sides) and push inwards to unsecure the pins. Do NOT worry about wearing the plastic out. The glove box plastic is robust. Anyway, the glove box will then fall (but not completely) downwards. You will notice you will have full acess to the HVAC filter box. This doesn't take 5 seconds to go. It takes another 10 seconds to take old filter out and put new one in. When closing up, don't forget to attach the small shock absorber back on.
