i don't have the pics but

open your glovebox.

squeeze the sides in (you'll see two rubber stoppers that prevent it from falling out when opened).

rotate the glovebox the rest of the way down

you'll see the door for the cabin air filter. it's got two tabs that you pinch to open.

slide the tray with the filter in it out.

replace the filter with the new one.

reverse the removal process!

DIY: Civic A/C Cabin Air Filter Replacement!

csxian · 05-27-2008, 05:04 PM

Do they have it for 06+ Civic or I can use other's Honda car's filter?

ErMasta · 05-27-2008, 05:32 PM

I have a 2006 civic lx....it fits good and i did add a sheet of snuggle lol.

my daughter is treated for leukemia, we replace the filter every month.

so for even more saving...

go to your favorite home center, buy the largest home filter you can find 20x25 or 20x30 (usually cheaper per square inch)

cut to size, I can usually get twelve filters for $14 or so

put in the cabin air filter tray.

I also put in a charcoal/carbon odors filter (also sold at home centers) in addition to the pleated paper filter.

I get mine at either Home Depot or Target.

this is for my DYI cut to fit method I've described above.

no idea where to get the OEM, guess you can search the web, dealer, auto stores, etc.
