How to Replace the Cabin Air Filter in a Nissan Altima

Model: Nissan Altima L32 - Years 2007-2012
Part: Cabin air filter

In this guide, you will learn how to replace the cabin air filter in a Nissan Altima. Start by going under the glove compartment; on the left, you will find a panel that you need to remove as shown at minute 0:20. Once removed, you will see at the bottom, near the corner, the cap of the filter housing; simply pull it towards you to open it. At this point, take a hook and use it to more easily extract the old filter; insert the new filter, pushing it slightly to fit it in and then pushing it all the way in. Finally, just reinsert the cap and put the panel back in place.
