i have been reading all the treads about changing the pollen filter. are you suppose to pry it the tabs or pushing them both at the same time so that it will clear. thanks

 

Owners' manual has it in there, but since I'm nice: Push.

 

but the manual says on "no.3 remove the side tabs by carefully prying them out with a screwdriver, then pivot the glove box out of the way." i'll try both but im scared im might loosen things and create rattles

 

hey curls im just trying to get the glove box out of the way. did you guys actually use a screwdriver?

 

Sorry I thought you meant the tabs on the filter itself...

For the glovebox, those side tabs are a bit of a pain. I used my spare housekey as I had it lying around. IIRC, there is a small "lip" on both of those tabs. Get the screwdriver under there and kinda pry/twist... it should work for you.

 

Guys, are there any difference on different brand (material wise?) of acc cabin filters?
I went to look on www.autopartswarehouse.com and I saw 3 different brands of filters for the TSX.

Thanks

 

American Honda is ripping off the TSX owners:

The correct part number the the cabin filter is:
80292-SDA-A01

The TSX version costs $36.80
and the accord version only costs $17, difference of $19.80. Both are OEM.

So just order it from manhonda.com or hondaacuraworld.com with the above part number to SAVE $$$$$.

 

I don't think there are major differences. Looks like simply 3 different brands.

At those prices, plus shipping, you'd be better off getting the Cabin Filter for the 2003+ Accord. Same as the TSX one, much cheaper (in the US, anyhow... here in Canada they're the same price @ $33.16 each)
