behind the glove compartment, you have to disconnect the box damper and remove the glove box stops, let the glove compartment hang down and the filter is in front of you in the evaporator housing behind a cover.
The cabin filter is located behind the glovebox.
First lower and remove the glovebox
If it has not been changed before, you will need to cut the plastic crossbrace behind the glovebox.
Once out of the way, unbolt the steel reinforcing frame behind the plastic and set it aside.
The cabin filter is mounted vertically behind it.
See images for further explanation:
The Cabin air filter is located behind the glove box, There is a plastic cover that must be removed to change the filter, if the filter has never been changed a plastic bracket may have to be removed also.
While holding the lower glove box, release the damper and remove the glove box stop on each side. Remove the bolts, then remove teh lower glove box. Install the lower glove box in the reverse order of removal.
I will never understand why this service is so expensive at the dealership.
I made a video showing how this is done: (I would recommend watching the video in HQ and full screen)
Open the glove box and there are push out tabs on the left and right side pop them out. Now watch it because you are about to dump the contents of your glove box on the floor. let the box hang freely from the lower hinge and look in the back. You will see a white panel that pulls out the panel has a tray attached with the filter element in it remove old element and replace with new 20ish bucks at the parts store lots more at the dealer. re-install filter tray and reverse your removal steps to re-install.
