this is one of the easiest things you can replace in your car. my honda civic at its regular oil change, the dealer informed me @ xxxxx miles you should replace the cabin air filter. when i asked how much, they told me it was going to be around $120. i refused recalling that i saw a very simple DIY on [...] and so my plan to save $100 dollars began.

you take out your glove compartment box, by squeezing the ends of the sides and move the glove box towards you and the cabin air filter box should be exposed. remove the cabin air filter from the car, take out the air filter and put in your new and clean wix filter you bought at amazon. now you simply put eveything back the way it was and you're done! simple enough right?

the quality of this filter imo is good, it feels like the OEM filter from honda. so far i have no problems. my last words for this review is to spray the filter with febreeeze or put dryer sheets around the filter (tight squeeze) so whenever you turn on your a/c it smells like a fresh scent. i put dryer sheets in mine so my car smells like fresh laundry when the a/c is on :)

I'm embarrassed to say that I did not even know my Honda Civic had an air filter for the cabin. My BMW and Audi in the past had them, but I just assumed that the inexpensive Honda did not have anything. When I went to buy an engine air filter on Amazon, I thought it was a joke that they were pairing the item with a cabin air filter. Well, no joke, the Honda Civic has a cabin filter and it's hidden away in a little drawer tucked behind the glove box. It was very easy to replace, once I knew that it was in there. You just open your glove box, push in the sides a little bit so the stoppers will let it swing all the way down, and then you will see the black face of the drawer for the filter behind. It just slides right out, swap out the new filter for the dirty one, and slide it back in. The only thing to watch for is to make sure the arrows showing the flow of air are lined up together. The drawer in the Honda had the arrow for airflow pointing downward, so I made sure the arrow on the side of the air filter was also pointing downward when I installed it.

That's it. Ten minute job at most, even if you take time to explore around behind your glovebox.

I purchased my 2009 Honda Accord EX-L in March 2009 and drive it around Virginia every day; almost 40k miles in one year! Needless to say I like to invest in good parts and keep it well maintained. I was amazed at how much debris got into the OEM cabin air filter in just the first year. I had a 2002 Accord coupe before purchasing this vehcile and remember the cabin air filter being much harder to change. NOT the case with the 2009 Accord. In a matter of 2-3 minutes TOPS I had the old filter out and the new one installed. You basically just disconnect the side glove box connector, squeeze in the sides of the glvoe box and voila the glove box folds down. Pull out the filter box by pushing in the compression clips and out it comes. When I started my engine and turned on the AC I could immediately tell the difference in the better smell.

I am going to change this out at least once per year from now on. You save around $50 doing it yourself!

This filter seems to be as good as the Honda item. The dealer wanted $65 to change it because "it is hard to get to and takes a bit of time". Har-de-har.

It takes about 2 minutes (or less) to replace (drop the glove box lid, pop out the filter-holder, replace the filter, pop the holder back in, put the glove-box lid back) and seems to do the job just fine.

This is a direct fit for the oem caban air filter. Wix is a great company majoring in filtration. Remember the one arrow that comes on this filter is meaning the direction of airflow. Many other makes of vehicles will have two arrows one saying insert this end first and the other arrow saying something like insert with this arrow facing up. If this filter fits your vehicle the instruction process is not like my example but just the direction of airflow. If you have a question about the direction of airflow of your vehicle it is most likely going down. Also, it may also be labled on the compartment door for your filter itself, not the glovebox door.

Dealer wanted 75.00 to change this in-cabin filter. My car has 44k miles and the filter was so dirty it wasn't even funny. There is tutorial video on youtube that shows exactly how to replace it....VERY easy to do and done in less than 2 minutes. Fits any 8th generation Honda Civic.

Dealer wanted $110. I did it on my own with this and 20 minutes of youtube where someone showed me how. Easy. Cheaper than dealer. I did notice a difference in air quality.

Very high quality cabin air filter by Wix (who has a fine reputation for filters in general.)

It was a perfect fit in a 2008 Honda CR-V. It took longer to organize the stuff in the glove compartment than it did to change the filter ... maybe three minutes? Instructions are in a little piece of paper in the box. Be sure to fasten the ends of the filter to the tray (see how the old filter goes in before you remove it from the tray.)

Hard to believe the dealer wants about $100 labor for this and the engine air filter ... (oh - that one takes about five minutes!)

Decided to change this filter myself. After some research, it is very easy and this filter was the perfect match at a great price, arrived on time and in perfect condition.

I went through the "make sure it fits" guide at the top of the screen, but when I went to replace it, this filter was much too big. Either this is the wrong part number or they put the wrong part in the box.
