Fit pollen filter

Called the dealer for the price of a pollen filter. (St Jerome,Quebec, Canada) I was quoted $71.99 on special??? After voicing my astonishment I was told that it includes installationThe part sells for 36.99. Wow 35 bucks to install a filter! It takes longer to empty the glove compartement than to actually replace the filter. It can probably be done in under 2 minutes.
No wonder the Honda manual does not tell you where it is and refers you to the dealer for replacement. Its all part of the scam.

The filter can be bought at a jobber for between 8 and 20 bucks. Shame on you Honda

I paid $12 for my OEM cabin filter, and changed it in 1 minute exactly (including emptying out and refilling the glove box...)
