Step by step

10 steps
  1. Open the glove box and take out all of its contents.
  2. Look on the left and right sides under the glove box. You will find two plastic clips (they may be folded in or simply snapped into place).
  3. Press in or unscrew both clips. The glove box should swing down or come off completely.
  4. Behind the glove box you will see a black plastic box (the filter housing) with white or black side clips.
  5. Press the two side clips and pull the filter cover toward you. It will open upward.
  6. Pull out the old filter (rectangular, pleated). Wipe the housing with a dry rag or vacuum it.
  7. Make sure there is no debris, leaves or insects in the housing.
  8. Install the new filter with the pleats facing UP (this is important for proper airflow) and push it into the housing until it clicks.
  9. Close the filter cover until both clips click into place.
  10. Reinstall the glove box and snap it into place.

Common mistakes and warnings

  • If a lot of dust or leaves fall out when you open the filter housing, blow out the housing with compressed air before installing the new filter. A dirty housing will reduce the benefit of a fresh filter. Selection guidance: The OE number 87139-02090 is the most reliable choice. The Mann and Filtron equivalents are compatible and cheaper. Avoid no-name filters, as they often seal poorly.
