Let’s look at replacing the cabin air filter fitted on a Seat Leon. Detach the plastic clips located on the trim at the bottom of the dashboard (right side under the glove compartment). Get a screwdriver or a cordless drill, remove the securing screws that hold the cover trim in place.

Extract the worn cabin filter, insert a new cabin filter ensuring it fits snugly around the walls of the box, reattach the cover of the filter box and tighten the screws (cover everything with the cloth placed under the dashboard). Replace the air filter with one of the same type and size.
