I did mine last week, a '99 9-3.
Remove wiper dust caps (don't mix them up) and wiper arm bolts. Wiggle the wiper arms off the ribbed spindles. Dont mix them up either. I put a small piece of tape on the windshield to mark where the blades rested (for re-installation). There is a plastic shroud that is inserted into weather stripping at the bottom of the windshield. There are also two clips at the bottom of this shroud. Remove the clips, pull the shroud downward out of the weatherstripping and you have to sort of bend the plastic shroud upwards to get it out of the corners. Be careful there. On the right (driver) side the windshield washer tubing is attached to both sides (top and bottom) of the shroud. Disconnect it. My car also had another plastic piece below the shroud, a drain if I'm not mistaken. Pull that up and there is the filter. As others have said, a shopvac is a good idea here since there will be leaves, etc. in there. Remove old filter and replace, noting a circle cut-out on one end of the filter and the housing. These should line up of course. The filter should click into place on the short ends. Re-installation is the reverse of removal. Took me about 20 min. Have fun and good luck.
