1. I didn't need to remove the weather stripping to access the hex screws.
2. Is the new filter in your last pic being inserted upside down?
You are right about the weather stripping. You may not need to remove it. I did because I am always nervous about dropping bolts and hardware and I wanted plenty of room to keep my free hand on them as I unscrewed them.

The filter housing is shown upside down. In that configuration, the new filter should be pointed in the down direction, as shown.
