Step-by-step instructions

remove the glovebox

The cabin air filter is located behind the glovebox. To access it, the glovebox needs to be removed.
After opening, 2 supports on the back of the glovebox prevent the glovebox from falling on the floor.
With your hands, push the left support to the right, making sure the rubber band doesn't catch on the frame.
If the left support can move freely, pull the glovebox towards you and to the left, to also free the right support.
Pull the glovebox towards you to pull the bottom hinges free.

Get your fingers behind the cover latches and pull the cover toward you, removing the cover.
Pull the filter out, and prevent dirt from falling out.
Put the new filter in, and make sure to follow the design of your filter manufacturer (air is pulled in from the top).
