Learn how to replace the pollen filter fitted to an Opel Astra. Open the glove compartment and unscrew the screws (located at the sides of the drawer), then rotate the glove compartment forward; remove the cover plate acting as a cap and pull the air filter from the housing (as shown in the video).

Once this is done, insert the new air filter into the filter holder (ensure to insert the filter correctly without bending it). Finally, reassemble the cover of the box and all components of the glove compartment as they were disassembled in the first part.
