Search Cabin Filter or Dust and Pollen Filter,

It's quite easy...the most difficult thing is to fit all the junk back in the glove box!

  1. Obtain cabin air filter and remove it from the package.
  2. Smack self on forehead for having paid so much for a simple piece of pleated paper.
  3. Open glovebox door.
  4. Squeeze sides of glovebox inward slightly, at the rearmost edge.
  5. Watch in amazement as glovebox comes loose and its contents spill onto passenger floor.
  6. Shrug.
  7. Open rectangular plastic door found behind glovebox.
  8. Remove grody old filter and replace it with new filter. (Optional: smack self on forehead over price one more time.)
  9. Replace glovebox.
  10. Replace contents of glovebox, minus Heath Bar that looks like it has been in there since the Mesozoic Era.
  11. Close glovebox door.
  12. Congratulate self by eating Heath Bar.

Dang it happened just like you said

Crap all my stuff fell out of the glove box to floor just like you predicted. If I was any smart I should have removed the stuff before I started to work. Oh well it was easy enough thanks.

i just took it out and put it back in just for fun. And now i know i can do it when it needs to be cleaned.Its saves you a lot of money and time when you just turn it around and and use a air gun to blow it out, just dont go crazy on the air preasure or get too close to the filter, you might damage it and now you HAVE to get a new one. (what a waste of time and money)
