Owners of other General Motors vehicles such as the Malibu, Cruze, Camaro, Sonic, Spark, Volt, Corvette, Trax, Equinox, Traverse, Tahoe, Suburban, SS Sedan, Bolt, Colorado, Silverado, Buick Verano, Regal, LaCrosse, Cascada, Encore, Envision, Enclave, Canyon, Sierra 1500, Terrain, Acadia, Yukon, Savana, ATS, CTS, XTS, CT6, XT5, SRX and Escalade may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

A few compatible replacement filters with their part numbers are as follows: ACDelco CF184, Cleenaire CAF184, Wix 24211, Original Engine Management CAF297C, UAC FI 1232C, Bosch P3720WS, MAHLE LAK 758, ATP CF-247, and Hastings AFC1624.

The only tool needed to complete this procedure is a standard Phillips head screwdriver.

Move to the outer right side wall of the glove box and locate the glove box damper arm.

Gently pop the glove box damper arm off its two pronged mounting peg.

Firmly push in the two side walls of the glove box until the plastic side stops can be removed from behind the dashboard.

Lower the glove box down to the floor mat.

There are seven screws holding the panel in place.

Remove the 3 screws near the bottom edge of the panel by turning them counterclockwise with the Phillips head screwdriver.

The other four screws are located along the top edge of the plastic panel.

At this point, you should have removed a total of seven Phillips head screws.

Gently pull out the plastic access panel to reveal the HVAC blower motor housing.

Set the plastic panel aside in a safe place.

Gently pull out the retaining clip on the left side of the filter cover to release it.

Gently pull out the retaining clip on the right side of the filter cover to release it from its mounting tab.

If your vacuum cleaner has a crevice attachment, clean out any debris that might be stuck inside the filter slot.

If the old filter is dark grey or black and clogged with dirt, dust, pollen, leaves, insects, leaves, hair, twigs, soot and other debris, it should be replaced with a new element.

I recommend buying the ACDelco CF184 cabin air filter since it has excellent reviews on Amazon.

If the old filter is relatively clean, just tap out the large debris and remove any fine dust with a vacuum cleaner.

Slide the new air filter straight in to the slot.

Slide the right side of the filter cover under the black wire loom.

Firmly push on both sides of the filter access cover to secure the two retaining clips.

Double check that the filter cover is securely in place before moving on to the next steps.

(If you need to change a burnt out glove box light bulb or upgrade it to a brighter LED, now is the easiest time to do it.)

Replace the top four screws and tighten them in the clockwise direction with the Phillips head screwdriver.

Firmly push in the two side walls until the plastic side stops can be re-inserted behind the dashboard.

Replace the contents of the glove box and close it to complete the job.

Enjoy the fresh clean air from your A/C system!
