I've lost half of my strength in my wrist and hands I couldn't push the filter over. I got my paint scrapper and put between the filter and a component pushed the filter over and pushed the filter in place.
I broke my Air Filter Clips on the Air Filter box trying to force the Air Filter into the unit. Following day, I removed the cover again and used a Grease on the filter lip and on the intake flue. It went in like a glove. I used Easy Grease ‘Easy Grease Spray Lubricant Synthetic Oil Waterproof Rust Protection’ from Amazon but you can possible use any other which can withstand -20 to +120 degrees. PS mine was original Volvo Filter. Same recommendation applies for Ford and others.
"As you can see..." ahhaa 😂

The Napa Gold filters fit way better than the OEM filters on these Escapes, oddly enough.
