Missing one clip on my air filter box. Can I buy just one?

This something I copied from an eBay listing, so I haven't done it yet.

Uplander Glove Box Hinge

Used in good condition.

Has minor cosmetic flaws like scratches, scrapes or scuffs you would normally expect to find on a used item.

Includes 5 screws and nuts to replace the rivets.

A web search may yield a video for you to watch.

Required Tools:

Flat screwdriver

Phillips screwdriver or else a 7mm socket and rachet

Electric drill with a 3/16" inch bit

Needle nose pliers or vise grips.

3/8" inch wrench.

Removal Instructions:

Remove the panel underneath the glove box.

3 Black 3/4" inch pan head bolts hold it in place.

Use a flat screwdriver to pry a little and slip the prongs of a pair needle nose pliers on either side of a bolt.

Push down on the handle of the needle nose pliers to remove each bolt.

Remove 2 phillips screws along the bottom of the glove box hinge.

Remove 2 phillips screws inside the glove box.

Remove the small black cabin air filter access door inside the glove box.

Put your fingers inside the left side of the access door opening.

Yank backward to loosen the 1 retainer clip on the left side of the glove box assembly.

Often times the 2 retainer clips on the right are also loosened.

Skip steps 1 to 5 if you can remove the entire glove box assembly at this point.

1) Open the front passenger door.

2) Use the flat screwdriver to remove the fuse access panel.

3) 3 Retainer clips hold it in place.

4) Use both hands to grab the glove box assembly on the far right.

5) Yank backward to loosen the 2 retainer clips on the right side of the glove box assembly.

Pull the entire glove box assembly out of the dashboard.

Some models have a strip of masking tape behind the glove box to hold it in place.

Some models have a lamp inside the glove box. Leave it in place or else pry a black tab to disconnect the wiring harness.

Hold the 'ears' of a rivet with the vise grips or needle nose pliers.

Drill through the 5 rivets with your electric drill and 3/16" inch bit.

The rivets may fall apart. Otherwise, twist the vise grips or pliers for removal.

Remove 4+2=6 phillips screws on the glove box door.

Use a flat screwdriver to pry 2 tabs on the glove box door to remove the rectangular portion.

Installation Instructions:

Install the 4+2=6 phillips screws on the glove box door.

Install the 5 replacement phillips screws and nuts where the rivets were.

For some models reconnect the glove box lamp wiring harness.

Align the 3 retainer clips and push the fuse access panel into place.

Align the 3 retainer clips and push the glove box assembly firmly into place.

Install the small black cabin air filter access door inside the glove box.

Install 2 phillips screws inside the glove box.

Install 2 phillips screws along the bottom of the glove box hinge.

Install 3 black 3/4" inch pan head bolts under the glove box assembly to hold the panel in place.

Hi Pam, You can probably get one or a box at a breakers yard. Regards John

It is pretty simple. There are either screws or clips (I'm not sure which, as the manual doesn't say) holding one end of the air cleaner cap assembly. Just un-fasten the screws or clips and lift the cap assembly up and out of the hooks on the other end. The air tube to the intake manifold will still be connected and my make this a little difficult to do. If so, loosen the clamps on the air tube to make it easier. After replacing the filter element, make sure the cap assembly is fitted and secured properly and all clamps are tight. (See picture)

located in your air box a few metal clips holding the cover on remove the clips and your air filter will be inside that black box

the procedure is as follows:-- Of the top center of the engine is a black plastic intake tube. Follow this tube over to the square plastic air cleaner box assembly. There are snap clips that hold the upper half of the plastic cover on unsnap these clips. The upper half of the air cleaner box will separate allowing you to remove the air filter. The other style has a small lid with two metal snap clips by popping these two metal snap clips back the lid lifts up and the air filter is in place vertically pull up on the air filter and it will come out.
Thanks. Keep updated for any more query. You can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

should be behind passenger side headlight. inside black box with snap clips that hold lid down. you should see the air intake line running to engine. undo clips 4 to 5 depending on year and model. lift lid and remove old filter. put in new filter and connect clips. takes about 5 minutes.

on a 300zx lift the bonnet/hood.. inbetween the headlights (the panel with the zed emblem in the centre) underneath it is the standard airbox..to remove the panel there are 2 bolts holding it to the chassis.. undo these and the nose panel lifts out.. yo can know access the stock air box.. undo the clips on it and lift the top off to access the panel filters.. inspect/replace and do steps in reverse to put it all back together

Release the 2 clips holding the air box lid on and slide the lid up pull out the old 1 make sure its clean under the filter and slide a new 1 in until it seats in the grove and push the air box lid back down and clip it shut.

There should be a plastic box or drum coming from the top area of your engine and will have a clip or several clips that hold the filter inside. Carefully remove each clip and open the air cleaner housing ( box or drum) some air cleaner housing are tricky and require some twisting and pulling to remove, just never force or pull hard on anything that might break. I then clean any dust and bugs from the housing before installing a new filter and replacing the clips. Hope this helps

Yes you need to change your in cabin filter. Wal-mart sells them for around 15$ if you buy the one from Nissan it is around 50$. You will find many recommendations for self install that say to take apart the dashboard and 7 or so screws. Skip that the easier solution is to slide out 2 hinge pins that hold the glove box in place they are located on the underside of the glove box. You will find there is a string that holds the detached glove box so don't yank too hard once the hinge pins are out. Support it if possible so it's not dangling in mid air. There are some clips that cover the flap that holds the filter in place a flat screw driver will make prying those easier. Note orientation on uninstall of old and reverse procedure with new filter. Reinstall flaps/clips then glove box. Viola Saved yourself 129$ dealer install..
