Was it the activated carbon filter? For a convertible that's an absolute waste of money unless you spend a lot of time with the top up, or use the hardtop. The plain paper filter works just as well filtering and is much cheaper. NAPA doesn't carry it, but the dealer does and it's MUCH cheaper.

Their air filters (NAPA) lists for $26.99, comparable to dealer price.
