We dropped the glove box. There was no filter cover much less a filter. We have had a bad odor for a long time. Is it possible the 2010 model has the in cabin filter somewhere besides behind the glove box?

Hello,

Yes it does have an in cabin air filter. It is located behind the glove box, in back of the right hand side console finisher. I have included an exploded view of your vehicle's instrument panel/console as well as step by step instructions from your vehicle's manufacturer on In cabin air filter removal and installation in the diagrams below. Please let us know how it turns out and if there is anything else that we can help you with.

Thanks,
Alex

I don't want to pay $100+ to have a shop change my cabin air filter. Where (website) can I find a step-by-step instruction or diagrams showing how to do it myself?
Thanks.

I tried to replace cabin air filter. I did remove the glove box assembly and could not see a filter cover tab. Do I have to completely remove the black box next to the fan?

Thanks
