Thomas,

When you say inside the cover, do you mean inside the shroud up top, or the unit cover inside the cabin? There is a removable foam pad in the unit cover that looks a little flat, but I have never seen an original (and can't seem to find one online), and so I don't know what they are supposed to look like.
I am stretching some memory over many years, but all of the units I have had did have the filter installed in the inside cover. Some took minor disassembly to access, but all did have them.
One, and I have forgotten which, came to be real bad and was a massive PITA to service. I had to remove knobs, then 4 screws and disconnect things to get at the filters that were so clogged that they really didn't clean well. I replaced them. In a later discussion with a friend of the PO, I found that the though of replacing the roof A/C was the reason he sold the unit so cheap.
