take off glove box (one rubber holder on each side that you pop out) and then it will fold down. then you can take off that black piece and pull out each filter. one comes out and then the other slides and comes out. To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

The only filters that can be cleaned are filters that are replaced and designed to be cleaned, and the cleaning often involves putting oil back onto the filter. As far as I know, there are no cabin filters that are ment to be cleaned.

I'm tempted to look at the K&N website to see if they have a "million mile" cabin filter. You know, the one that's going to add a few ponies and torque? LOL

1.) Open the glove box.
2.) While holding the glove box (A), remove the glove box stop (B) on each side.

3.) Hang the glove box down.
4.) Remove the filter lid (A) from the blower unit, then pull out the first dust and pollen filter (B). Slide the second filter to the left and pull it out.

5.) Remove the filter (A) from the housing (B) and replace the filter.

6.) Install the filters in the reverse order of removal.
i saw the stops but how do you remove them? pry them out or what i didnt feel like breaking them off so i stopped yesterday only the right one could i get to move

You push those stops inward, from the outside of the glovebox.
