Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
To replace your cabin air filter, you're going to want to open up your glove box, empty it of its contents. Then on each side there's little hooks here. They go on the outside. You can see that there are little tabs here that hold it. Gently push up on one of the tabs. You're pushing on the tabs on the outside with your finger. Pry on the inside. Then lift the box up a little bit. This little hook comes out. Then there's one on the other side. Do the same thing.
Now, your box can come down. Right inside here there's a little door. This is the door here. There's a little tab over here. Pull this tab over. Bring the door out. Here is your cabin air filter. There's half of it. Then, another half slides over and comes out. You can see, especially if you don't ever replace them they can get pretty ugly. The filters actually come out of the plastic encasements.
Here's a new filter. Make sure that the airflow is pointing down. For the top and this side, take it out. The airflow arrow is pointing down in from the top. This one goes in first. Get any debris that you can reach with your hand. There are a couple leaves down in the fan motor. You can feel the fan motor right down in there. I'm just turning it a little bit to see if there's any more debris. You put your first cartridge back in and slide it over, and then put the second cartridge back in. For the door, there's a little tab on the side. Slide it in, and then clip it in. Clean off any debris from the back of your glove box here. Put the glove box up. Take one of your hooks. While you're pushing the glove box up a little bit further put the hook in. You have to push the glove box in a little bit more and put the hook in. Let the glove box rest down into position. The hook flips in. The same thing with the other side: push the glove box up in a little bit. Put the hook in. Let the glove box rest down, and then click the hook into place. Put the stuff back in your glove box and you're all set. Maybe vacuum up the floor a little bit after all that debris got all over the place.
