The development and release of the 7th generation Camaro has been delayed, so the current sixth generation will continue into the 2022 and 2023 model years.

Owners of other General Motors vehicles from Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac such as the Malibu, Impala, Bolt, Corvette, Trailblazer, Trax, Equinox, Blazer, Traverse, Tahoe, Suburban, Colorado, Silverado, Express, Encore, Envision, Enclave, Regal, Sierra, Terrain, Acadia, Yukon, Canyon, Savana, XT4, XT5, XT6, Escalade, CT4, CT5, CTS and CT6 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

A few compatible replacement filters with their part numbers are as follows: Spearhead BE-966, Fram CF11966, EcoGard XC10022C, EPAuto CP966, ACDelco CF185 and TYC 800181P.

The tools needed to complete this procedure include a 7mm socket, an extension bar, a 1/4" drive ratchet, a flat head screwdriver and / or a pop rivet removal tool.

To access the HVAC blower motor housing and the filter slot, you'll need to fully remove the glove box.

There are two black metal screws just below the bottom edge of the glove box on either side of the front passenger knee airbag housing.

Set the screw aside in a safe place.

Set the screw aside with the other one.

Gently pull down the left side of the plastic panel below the glove box and locate the silver metal retaining pin.

You could also use a pop rivet removal tool to pull the head of the pin out from the hinge.

Set the left side pin aside in a safe place.

Repeat the process for the right side retaining pin.

Swing out the glove box latch to release it.

Use a flat head screwdriver to push the mounting button down and forward from the smaller hole to the larger hole.

Carefully lower the glove box and separate the two plastic hinges on the bottom edge.

Set the glove box aside in a safe place.

There are four tabs on the filter access cover with one at each corner.

Gently pull the access cover off the front of the HVAC blower motor housing.

You'll see the exposed edge of the old filter in the slot.

Inspect both sides of the old air filter.

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

I recommend buying the Spearhead BE-966 cabin air filter since it has excellent reviews from other Chevy owners.

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

Use the crevice attachment on your vacuum cleaner to remove any large debris from the slot.

Orientate the new filter with the "Air Flow" arrow pointing down towards the floor mat.

Slide the new filter straight into the slot until it is flush with the opening.

Gently push the filter cover back into place.

You should feel or hear the four retaining clips "click" securely into place.

Double check that the cover is secure before moving on to the next steps.

Slide the metal retaining pins in from the outside towards the center of the glove box.

Raise the glove box up towards the dashboard.

Slide the plastic mount up into the slot and insert the small button into the larger hole.

Move the button forward and up from the larger hole into the smaller hole.

The button should "pop" back securely into place.

Close the glove box.

Move the plastic panel below the glove box (on either side of the knee airbag) back into the correct position around the hinges.

Try to avoid over tightening the screws to prevent from breaking the plastic panel.

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

Be sure to write down the filter change in your vehicle's service records.

According to the service interval specification in the owner's manual, the passenger compartment air filter should be replaced every 22,500 miles (or every 36,000 km).
