The following steps will show you how to remove and replace the cabin air filter of the Subaru Forester. First, get into the vehicle on the passenger side, and start by opening and detaching the glove compartment from the side hinges to lower it; you will then find the pollen filter at the back, as shown in the video.

At this point, remove the plastic cover and extract the cabin air filter cartridge, replacing it with a new one (inserting it in the correct orientation); finally, reassemble the cover and then the glove compartment!
