Step-by-Step Process
Step 1: Locate the Glovebox
Locate the glove box, which is positioned in front of the passenger-side seat.
Step 2: Open the Glovebox
Pull on the handle to open the glovebox.
Step 3: Remove the Dampener Hinge
Remove the cover of the dampener on the upper left-hand side (facing the glovebox) by pulling the semi-circular piece towards your body.
Pull the actual hinge outward and off of the cylindrical piece to which it was hooked.
Step 4: Remove the Stops
The stoppers are snapped in place with plastic at the top left and right side of the glovebox. Use a flathead screw driver to unsnap these hinges from their place.
Using one hand, push the glovebox slightly closed to create space. Using the other hand, rotate the piece and pull outward (perpendicular from the wall of the glovebox) until the hinge comes free.
Repeat for both stoppers on each side.
Step 5: Locate and Remove the Air Filter Holder
Press inward on the two plastic pieces on each side of the air filter and pull towards yourself for removal.
Step 6: Take Out the Old Air Filter and Replace
The air filter will be in the removed holder.
Remove the old air filter and replace it with the new air filter. There will be an arrow to point in the direction of "air flow". Make sure these arrows match on both the container and the filter.
Place the container holding the new air filter back and push until it snaps into place.
Use these directions in reverse to rebuild your glovebox.
