Cabin Air Filter

Hello to all, this is MR. Retroburban with a tip on replacing the cabin air filter. She got the HHR in July 06, so the manual recommends one year intervals I do believe. We figured that would be pushing it here in Phoenix. So I changed it today, May 27, 2007. WOW THis thing is black!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think we may do a bi-annual change from now on after seeing this. So my tip is check it every 6 months if you live in a dusty environment. It is real simple. Open the glove box, drop the door all the way down. Now look up inside the dash and pop three marked tabs loose. Remove filter. Reversal procedure to install. Took longer to walk out there than to actually change it.


Just my 2 cents on the subject.

EBay, keywords 'cabin filter hhr'. Results came up with two sellers as of today.
They both balance near the same in price w/shipping. Take your pick.
