Open up your glove box and turn your key to the first click. You'll see a crazy starwars looking door mechanically open in the back of your glove box! I was so thrilled when i saw it.

I knew it was in the glivebox but I didn't know about the star wars door. I will have to check that out in the morning. phillips head screwdriver needed to get filter out(I think) Make sure you guys are checking theses things out because mine was almost clogged with debris at 15,000 miles.

I should check mine. I'm sure it's nearly clogged. I'm not paying $60 freaking dollars for a new one, though. I'd rather just cut out the filter media, and screw the plate back in.

good luck getting the filter out through the glove box, The door opens for like 2 seconds and then closes. I think you have to take apart the dash or something to get it out.

thanks boys for info i will doing an inspection this wknd on this. if needed (29000miles now ) will be replacing it with an active carbon filter that its cheaper and does a better job than the paper one ,as it removes midew odor from the sistem .

What the hell are you people talking about???? Just remove the damn glovebox, remove two screws, and pull the thing out.

He's on crack. I just pulled my filter, and didn't see any little door.
