Cabin filter change.

[-Ray-]

I know this has been posted before. I just wanted to share my pics.
I pulled all the scrivets from the left side and also pull the hood rubber.



I then pulled the plastic up far enough to get my hands in there. Mine wasn't as dirty as some I've seen. This is with 42k miles.



I got the vacuum cleaner in there to get the leaves out before I pulled the filter. That's when I noticed mine was placed in backwards.



I cleaned it out really good.



I made sure the filter was placed in there correctly.



Time to button it all up. I noticed before if I placed the scrivets in like this, I can get my screwdriver in this side to pull them out easier.

I've noticed that a lot of people seem to find their filter in backwards. The first time I changed mine I found it backwards too.

I changed mine this weekend for the first time and I swear it was also backwards... airflow is into the cabin, so the arrow should point towards the cabin/back of vehicle, right?

Mine was backwards also,don't think it matters tho.


Ray, that filter looks nasty! Notice the car smelling like new again?
