Cabin Air Filter Swap: The Most Comprehensive DIY Yet!

But HT-Spec is about rising above all that; not listening to what the internet people say and taking matters into your own hands.

With my trusty Helm manual beside me, I set off to replace the cabin filter the best way I knew how. ALL OUT!

Whoa! Nicely done. I like the new dash look. I love my dash and can't wait to see it with my Maven Shift Knob

Thanks Marcus, I knew I was doing it wrong the first time. Next time, I'll make sure to rip off the whole dash along with the steering column!

You know , I was actually surprised how basic the job seemed when following the factory manual. It took a while, but wasn't hard really...
