Hi guys

I went to Mr. Lube to have the oil changed and the guy wanted to see if the cabin filter needed to be replaced but couldn't find where it was. In my 2011 TL, it was in the glove box.

Does anyone know where it is?

Thanks.

 

same place...behind the glove box.

 

I must be blind. I will see again.

Thanks.

 

that's where it is in the MDX...ZDX essentially the same car.

 

indeed its behind the glove box
weird that a technician missed that

 

I have a 2010 ZDX - the glove box cover hinges from the bottom and the box itself is integrated into the dash. I don't see anyway to get behind the box. What am I missing? It is not like the MDX Gen 2 glove box design where the entire box tilts forward..

Bewildered

AHA! Found it.

You have to gently pull out the horizontal divider that is located in the glove box. It is held in place by a set of rear pressure tabs on both sides. Just wiggle the divider a bit and it pops out. Behind the rear fascia of the divider, you can plainly see the cabin filter box.

Very clever design!
