 Push Retaining Arm |
 Pop Forward Off Clip |
 Push Together Both Sides |
||
| The first step is to open the glove box and remove any items inside of it. Then gently push forward on the grooved section of the glove box's retaining arm to pop it out of place. With the retaining arm separated, pull the two sides of the glove box towards each other until the rubber stops are clear from the dash. | ||||
 Glove Box Lowered |
 Air Filter Tray |
 Press Two Tabs In |
||
| Gently lower the glove box towards the floor mat and locate the black plastic front cover of the cabin air filter tray. There is a retaining clip on each end of the cabin air filter tray that can be released by pressing inwards on the tab. | ||||

 Slide Out Filter Tray |
 Old Cabin Air Filter |
 HVAC Blower |
||
| With the two tabs
of the cabin air filter tray released, you can slide it out from the A/C
blower assembly. If the filter isn't very dirty, gently tap out the larger
debris outside of the vehicle and re-insert it. If you decide to replace the
air filter, lift it from the tray and take note of the direction of the "Air
Flow" by looking at the arrow marked on the OEM filter. To complete the procedure, reverse the steps above. Place the new filter into the tray, slide the tray into the blower assembly, snap the two clips on the tray's cover into place, raise the glove box, push together the two sides, push the two rubber stops past the sides of the glove box receptacle, and snap the glove box retaining arm back into its groove. |
