To replace the cabin filter in the Opel Zafira, start by removing the plastic cover in the footwell on the left side of the passenger seat by unscrewing the 2 Torx screws and removing the upper clip. Once the plastic is removed, unscrew the 4 lower Torx screws and the two upper Torx screws in the glove compartment to take it out. After removing the glove compartment, unscrew the two bolts with a 10mm socket to remove the frame with the air pipe.

Once the air pipe and frame are removed, unclip the clips holding the pollen filter cover, open it, and remove the old filter. After removing the old filter, reposition the new filter in the same position as the old one, close the cover, and reattach the clips.

Now, reattach the frame with the air pipe by screwing in the 2 bolts, reposition the glove compartment, and screw in the Torx screws, and finally, replace the lower plastic cover by screwing in the Torx screws and reattaching the clip. Now you can turn on the air conditioning and enjoy clean air.
