Replace the Cabin Air Filter Without Tools

Model: Honda Civic MK 8 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Cabin air filter

In some vehicle models, replacing the internal air filter, the cabin filter, can be even simpler and may not require any tools: this video will show you how. Open the glove compartment and, using your hands, press the sides gently towards the centre: it will lower completely. The filter is located just behind it, in a plastic housing. There are two tabs on either side, which you simply need to press to pull out the housing. Check that the replacement filter you have purchased matches and reassemble everything. Without any tools, you have done a great job. Try it to believe it.
