DIY: How to Replace Cabin Filter and Glove Box Bulb
#121
Thanks for the thread. Replaced mine today. Was done in less then 30 minutes.
I was figuring it needed it..but it didn't. Filter was not too dirty. Already bought the new 1 so it is replaced.

Thanks very much. That was very helpful. So the longest thing for me was the light wasn't working once plugged in. I finally got a solid connection after reversing the light several times. I thought the led was bad after several attempts. But it finally started working for me.

This thread is the way to do it for me!!!
I did this again today to install a Diode Dynamics glove-box LED. It gets faster every time. Ten minutes out and in today.
I am firmly in the remove-glove-box-door camp. First time I tried it without doing that. A time-consuming mistake.
I was tempted to replace my cabin filter again after only 3K miles...it was clean though...

A lot of these steps are unnecessary.. just pick up a bit extender that can attach to screwdriver, then all you need to do is take the screws out rather than detaching the door. Took me 10 minutes the first time then 5 minutes the second time.. less likely to damage things I think.
As for carbon filters, I just got one from Cleenaire which appeared to be great quality compared to what was in there. Sturdy and dense foam lined to prevent dirty air leaking past the filter, dual-sided carbon treated and supposedly 7 layers of filtration material. It's also really cheap.. I got it for less than $15.

When I did mine and put it all back together the left top of the glove box sits out about half a centimeter, and doesn't want to sit flush. I can push it in a bit and it sits flush but then hangs back down when I'm not holding it up in place. I've taken it apart and put it back together twice now making sure everything is fastened up tight but it still hangs down. Anyone have any ideas on what's causing it?
