Your video shows replacement of 2000 to 2006 filters. Reading online, others confirm and GM bulletin says they were discontinued from 2003 to 2006. Mine is molded all together, no screw to remove. Is it a permanent filter? Car now has a mildew odor throughout, yet nothing has been spilled in vehicle, no windows were left open during rain, etc. Virtually developed overnight. I have left windows open, checked entire interior of vehicle & cannot locate origin of odor. We have owned this vehicle for years with no problems & have not experienced any service issues other than normal maintenance.

it may not have one, just because an auto partsstore lists one those arenormally aftermarket ones and they sell those to be INSTALLED in yours. if you have one the vent atright front of windshield will lift to put it in there.
