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.
Start right over in here. There's a little clip right here. You actually push the center in with a flat blade screwdriver then pry up, with the screw driver, and pull that clip out. You pull up this weather strip some and then there's a little kind of foam block here. This plastic grill comes up. Push this foam block out of the way. Lift this up and, then you can see right here there's a little clip. Pull that up and then grab hold of your cabin air filter. There's another clip right over here, pull that one up as well and pull the filter out and up. This one is in definite need of replacement and it's full and weighs about 2 pounds. It shouldn't.
Here's a new cabin air filter from 1A Auto. You can see it's quite a bit cleaner without all that junk in there. It's quite a bit lighter too. It has air flow arrows. Obviously the arrows are going to go that way and into the car, so we have the arrows pointing toward the passenger compartment. Just slide it right in there and lock this clip down on this side and lock this clip down. Put our panel back down. Pull this foam block back out of the way. Put that back down like that. Okay, this clip you just want to push the center back up and through and then put it back where it belongs and then push the center down flush to lock it.
