I'm surprised that the "Best Solution" is posted as a long process of removing weather stripping, wiper fluid hoses and removing screws. All you really have to do is open the glove compartment, pull the access panel in the back, and open the door that says "air filter access", then pull out the 2 filters.

Not sure about the arrows, but on my 2005 Terraza, the cabin air filter is easily accessible from the interior of the glove compartment.

SOURCE: 2000 Buick Century Custom 4dr sedan

The cabin air filter for your 2002 Buick Century is located under the cowl in the firewall between the engine compartment and the passenger side of the front seat. To change the filter:
1. Leave the wipers in up position.
2. Open the hood
3. Remove the weather stripping from passenger side of cowl
4. Unclip the window washer line (two or three places)
5. Remove the three fasteners with an ordinary screwdriver (one is easy, the other two were more difficult)
6. Take out the cowel cover
7. Remove old filter
8. Put in new filter
9. Replace cover, fasteners, washer line, and weather stripping.

Do it about every 20,000 km. I left mine for nearly 130,000 km and it was filthy dirty.
New filter costs about $12

I have a 2004 Buick Century. Over the weekend I seemed to have lost the oomph on my air flow, I checked the filter for the cabin air. Took it out and ran the system but still no help. The A/C works fine...

Feel,and make sure there is no air coming from the floor,or the defrost,if not,then the directional door is working,but if not,there will be a actuator motor that controls this not moving all the way,the other choice would be that the evaporator is stopped up with debris,from outside air flow.Of course the dash and blower box would have to be removed to repair the problem.

I have a 2000 Buick Century. I have replaced the cabin air filter, but I am having problems replacing a black plastic vent approx. 12''x5''. I can't figure out how it is to be re-install.Can you help?

The plastic vent is installed vertically in front of the air filter. The two slotted tabs on the bottom slip over the metal frame of the filter compartment with the hand grip resting on the cowl.

Buick century 2002,When it rains ,there is water only in frontside passenger floor.How to stop that.

Remove the cowling that covers the vents below the windshield. This is where the cabin air filter is located. Should have two popup buttons and a screw button in the middle. Once cowling is removed, you will probably see a 2' long rubber gasket that has come loose and is probably hanging. Apply some silicone to the groove in the gasket and replace. Water is running down the windshield and into the cabin air filter area and down onto your floorboard. This is a good time to replace the filter while you have it off. Hope this helps.
