Replace Cabin Air Filter

Good afternoon---new to the group, so bear with me if I run afoul of some protocol. I checked the FAQ but did not come across any post dealing with this issue.

I have a 2007 TL Type S. It's got about 51K miles. I likely need to change the cabin air filter. This shouldn't be too hard...I hope. If the info is available on the site, please direct me to it. If not, can someone let me know exactly what's involved?

Thanks.

It's not easy but not as hard as most here would say it is. Poor design but it took me less then 5 minutes.

Instead of the FAQ, for DIY's and tons of other info, check the listings and links in this thread:

Gotta remove the glove box! Took me 10/15 minutes.

I did a quick search and the how to's looked different than my car's glove box. I found this video and it matched exactly. Done in less than 5 minutes.

Thanks for posting this!
