(Thread Starter) |   Neutral : +7 score  Replacing the Cabin Air Filters This isn't as bad as it looks, but it will take around 45 min. I recommend doing this after about 30k miles or so. The filters are available from the dealer for about $35 for the pair. Yes, I said pair. There are 2 filters that stack on top of each other and they must go in correctly because they are both different. They come out and go in one at a time. The openning is only big enough for 1 filter to slide in/out. After the first one comes out the top one drops down. The top one fits into a slide rail up top. When you get both old filters out, clean out all the crap that is stuck in that box before putting the new ones in. One last thing, be carefull when you are disconnecting/re-connecting the connectors to the fuse panel. I broke the small one when trying to re-connect it. Tools: #2 Phillips Screwdriver 3/8" Rachet 12mm Socket About 24" of 3/8" rachet extentions 3/8" swivel Basic Steps: 1. Remove Dash Trim (the long skinny one) 2. Remove Glove Box 3. Remove Fuse Panel/Bracket 4. Remove Filter Cover 5. Replace Filters Updated video.
