I have a 1996 850R I am having trouble finding the cabin filter. Can anyone help me out?

Welcome to MVS.
You'll have to open the hood and then look directly under the passenger side windshield...you'll see a black piece of plastic that runs under the windsheild all the way across to the driver's side. There are two torx screws that you have to take out and lift that corner (passenger's side) and it is right under it. Some 850's didn't come with a cabin filter (the cause of debris getting into the fan and ultimately killing the A/C evaporator). If yours doesn't have a filter there, you can add one- you'll need a filter bracket and a filter. I have a spare bracket if you find out your car doesn't have a fitted filter and you decide you want to add one.
