How To Replace Car Cabin Air Filter – For Clean Air

Have You often wondered how to replace your Cabin Air Filter and where it lives in your Car.

Today I am going to show You where the Cabin Air Filter takes up residence in your Car, SUV, or Truck.

Your Glove Box just doesn’t store and hide your vehicle’s paperwork and other interesting things. Yours and mine’s Cabin Air Filter is housed up in behind the Glove Box.

Now that we know where the filter resides, let’s get out the old one and replace it with a new one.

Open your Glove Box and drop the compartment door down and unlatch the clips so the door opens or flops down all the way. Usually one clip on each side. Oh, Yah! I found it much easier to remove all my paperwork and small glove box, Manuel, before unhinging, before they hit the rubber mat on the floorboards adding to cleaner up, darn.

Keep in mind, that some Cabin Air Filters may live in other areas of your vehicle, so just check your Rides car manual or on (Google Search).

Now that we have located our own cabin air filters in our own vehicles, let’s get it out of its, I’m sure dirty living environment. Chances will be good here that there will be lots of caked-on dust and dirt and other debris, that You may ask the question of how do pine needles and small nuts get in here. Just saying we all get surprised by things we see at times.

You can either go to your favorite parts store Girls or Guys where you get to talk to people or order through your favorite online parts store.

What happens If I don’t change my (CA-Filter) odors from the outside environment will be accessed into your vehicle’s cabin area uninvited. That accumulation of pollutants from outside sources has been proven to be unhealthy for the environment inside our vehicles.

I/we should be changing our Cabin Air Filter around 30,000 Miles or 50,000 Km. Now keep in mind, that is fine for no to slight dusty conditions, but for dusty heavily polluted areas more frequent changes are necessary for oneself and any passengers riding with you. Even If you’re driving skills aren’t the best, the air that they and you breathe will be good quality.

Tools and Safety equipment that may be needed for the filter replacement. A flat blade screwdriver, maybe a Phillips style, even a pair of pliers just for standby.

If for some reason you may be working upside down then “safety glasses” would be a good choice here.

I always like the protection from contaminants getting onto my skin by wearing rubber gloves (Blue) being my FAV color, probably by now, there could be a rainbow of colors to fit ones working mood, for Girls and Guys.
