Next, position yourself on the passenger side and open the glove compartment. On either side of the compartment, there are two arms that guide its movement; simply lift them to release them from the stops.

Push down on the glove compartment with one hand and with the other, remove the old filter from its housing. Now, place the new filter in and reattach the glove compartment arms to complete the operation.
