Be advised that the filters are two types,charcoal added and plain.The charcoal added ones are dark to begin with and the plain are white.The charcoal types add a little more in the way of filtering and odor reduction. http://www.autobarn.net/boschcabinairfilters.html

I think they are available through the dealers.They are more money I am certain.When I was quoted a $31 price for one filter at the local dealer I think that it may have been a charcoal version he would have ordered for me.I said no thanks. http://www.autobarn.net/boschcabinairfilters.html

Well my Cabin Air Filters came in today.
Mine looked as bad as Sindy Dix's.
This is the same type that is/was in NEMO.
NEMO says Thank You!!!!

Thumbs up

I never knew there was a cabin filter, maybe that explains the stench that comes from the A/C when you first turn her on... I'm so I didn't know, and of course when hub gets home from FL tonight, I'm telling him about this..lol then I'll be a happy camper once I got it smellin purdy in there again like sweet pear.. *great new air freshner scent~lil tree* it's the only one that goes in my HHR

Just replaced my cabin air filter today, Well I tried to a week ago. Do yourself a favor and don't get the Wix filter. I bought one at Oreilly Auto and had to take it back. When I put it in the car the sides of the filter collapsed inward effectively allowing air to bypass the seal on the sides. The replacement part they transfered from one of their other stores (they didn't stock any at my store) looked like it too had been returned for the same reason. Compared to the Delphi the Wix is flimsy. I ordered some Delphi filters off eBay and the quality of construction and fit is much better. From here on out it is only Delphi

Yeah, the Wix one has pretty flimsy side panels. I did manage to get mine in after calling it a %^&#$@!-%^&(*^% @#$ *& A ^&*%$

I'll be ordering the Delphi ones off of eBay next time.
