How to replace the cabin filter on Seat Altea? Here’s how to do it: using a plastic lever, pry out the rivets located on the trim at the bottom of the dashboard (right side if present), remove the trim under the glove compartment (move the cover to the right).

Extract the worn cabin filter, insert a new cabin filter ensuring it fits snugly around the walls of the box, reassemble the filter box cap and close it (cover everything with the cloth under the dashboard).

Check the correct assembly of the previously mounted parts.
