A/C filter

Hey Guys,

It's time to change my A/C filter. Do any of you know the location of this filter?

Thanks

Here...I simply cut & pasted from the "other" site.

Compliments of rayc1z:

1. Empty glove box and pop up the two plastic stops on the inside of each side. Slide the stop forward and remove it from the glove box.
2. Undo the single screw that slides in the arm thingy (!) on the outside right of the glove box. Latch the glove box.
3. Pop up the kick plate on the passenger door side. I used a screwdriver and was careful not to scratch anything.
4. Unscrew the plastic stud thingy (!) that holds into the floor the trim piece that contains the fuse box door.
5. Lift up the rubber door seal just enough so you can take off the trim piece.
6. Use a 8mm (I think) socket to undo the screws holding in the hinges at the bottom of the glove box.
7. Unlatch the glove box and remove it.
8. Take a Stanley knife and carefully cut the plastic cross brace at its ends. You can see where to cut because there are cut-outs already in place.
9. Uncrew the four screws holding the metal cross brace in place.
10. Unclip the filter cover. Pull out the filter. Be amazed at how dirty it is.
11-19. Reverse the above, except don't replace the plastic brace. I found it was tricky to get the hinge screws started, but all you need is patience.
