I was in the garage the other day and decided to take a look at the condition of my cabin air filter. I'm glad I did because The amount of crap that built up in there was amazing! I'm talking about leaves, gravel, small furry animals, etc. If you've never checked yours it might be a good idea to take a peek.

BTW, getting to the filter is easy and should take only a couple of minutes. Undo the two phillips head screws in the top corners (towards the rear of the car) of the cover in the passenger footwell. Push the cover to the front of the car, pull down so the lip clears the underside of the glove box, and then pull the cover out. The filter assembly is at kind of an angle and has two white nylon "sliders" that lock it into place. Slide them away from the center of the cover and it will disengage and then you can remove the cover by pulling straight down. You can then reach in and remove the filter. To reassemble, just reverse the procedure.

 

where is the cabin air filter?

 

thanks BOBS... roger that! i have myself a little project in the morn...

 

Didn't you read the second paragraph of my original post? I thought I explained it pretty clearly...

 

I changed mine a few months back. Yep, full of all kinds of stuff! It seems to be one of those things that many ignore. Maybe it's due to the fact that they're a somewhat recent addition to most cars. Imagine all that junk flowing through your air vents.

 

It is located under the glove box. Follow this link and see post #28 for pics:
