Changing your Cabin Filter
Note: I do not take responsibility of your actions
Aim: To change your cabin filter!
Required: your hands
This DIY is performed on an Australian Model TSX (Accord Euro)
Step 1: Get in your CL9/CU2 ( not sure if the CU2 is the same) open the glove box.

Step 2: Look to the left&right of the glove box for this little arm that holds the glove box and unhook it.

Step 3: Push both sides of glove box inwards so the inside of the clip does not touch the Dashboard.

Step 4: use your knee to hold the glovebox so it doesnt fall all the way down dropping your log book and whatever you have in there.
Step 5: You will now see your Cabin filter thing, there will be two clips that are holding it in place so push those clips inwards and slide the filter out.

Step 6: Have a look at what you've been breathing in!

Step 7: Put in a new one. Then do the reverse order
Other Comments: Shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes, requires no tools and do replace it once a year for your health!!
Ps. This is my first DIY so be friendly :o

in the 24th and a half...
Only problem I see is that this DIY doesn't apply to 1G TSX's. The US TSX has two stops that clip into the sides of the glove box that have to be popped out after the damper arm is disconnected. These are in lieu of the clips you show. Sorry, but thanks anyway.
