Default Changing cabin filter

I thought there was a sticky on here that had a link that went to a site which had step by step pictures on how to access the cabin air filter. I can't seem to find it. I've tried searching with no luck. Anyone have the link?

My dad owns a maintanence shop and he has a program on the shop computer that shows how to get access to every car's cabin air filter. I'll use it tomorrow to check my own cabin air filter, and take some pictures of the progress.

Having changed many hundreds myself, they are all relatively simple. 95% of cars that are equipped with them have them behind the glovebox or under the passenger side cowl.

What a scam. After I bought a replacement and changed mine, I promised myself that when I decide to change it again that I'm just going to replace the paper filter media with paper toweling. God forbid that we breath unfiltered air. You'd think that people NEVER drove with their windows open...

Sort of ironic... People getting nutz about changing the cabin air filter so you drive with the top down to the auto parts store to buy one. Give me a break...

Actually, I drove to the parts store with the windows down. Replaced my cabin air filter. And then drove home with the windows still open.

Thanks! Was going to take a peek at it today to check the filter and to see if any water was going thru as well.
