How do you remove the cabin air filter of an Opel Zafira? The cabin filter is located on the right side of the glove compartment. Use a plastic trim tool to pry off the cover at the lower right of the dashboard (unscrew the plastic screws), get a screwdriver (or cordless drill); remove the glove compartment from the dashboard and then take off the cover from the filter housing (extract the cabin filter to be replaced).

Insert a new cabin filter (ensuring it fits snugly around the walls of the housing) and refit the cover of the filter housing. Check the correct assembly of the previously installed parts.
