2005 Toyota Matrix....cabin air filter
Instructions
This page and video will show the job done on a 2005 Toyota Matrix. As always—before any job—take a look at your service manual. If you don’t feel completely comfortable doing this yourself, we can refer you to a
professional technician.
Step 1: Remove glove box pin
Open your glove box and locate this pin on the outside edge. Use your screwdriver to take the screw out, then slip the pin out of the hole on this arm. And put the screw someplace safe. Some vehicles will have a band holding the glove box in place that you’ll need to release.
Step 2: Lower glove box
Now, gently press in on both sides of your glove box and it will lower. This will expose what’s behind it, including this black cover, which is where your cabin air filter is. Most vehicles with a filter behind the glove box will be accessed like this. Just be careful not to force the glove box down—there will be a limited amount of slack in the hinges.
