BTW, do not get a cabin filter from your dealer, they will rape you for the price!
Get one on e-Bay, etc. |

Cards usually = a few cents under $50.00. That = squeezing the sizes of the lower glove box, taking the cover off the slot, pulling out old filter (if there is one), putting the new filter in, replacing cover, then snapping glovebox back into place = $30.00....not to mention the existing mark up on the filter. A dealer profit center that works well on people who are either: 1. 'Afraid of their cars' (not mechanically inclined at all), or 2. Can't be bothered/time more valuable that that/both time more valuable and can't be bothered. People who primarily fit #2 might not have any mechanical inclination as well. |

This is so simple, mechanical inclination is just about laughable re this DIY, but some people just want to leave some things to others. |
