Default Went to change cabin air filter and ended up...

Thought I was about to change my cabin air filter at about 30K on an 09' Escape Hybrid...ended up installing one....someone at the factory had a bad day and forgot to install one
Not a huge deal but I thought it was kind of funny and you guys might get a kick out of it...
It is suppose to go in the passeanger cowl area right? Inside an area with screen around it right? The filter I got popped right in and was the same rectangularish shape so I figured I had the right spot...but nope, no filter in there from the factory

Cabin filters do not come installed from the factory for some reason.

Right - one of those endless cost reductions.

no kidding, with everyone saying they "changed" their cabin air filter after the first x # of miles I assumed they were installed silly me....well the aftermarket fit well at least.
