Sorry about the pics being lost folks...I never backed the pics up and when ClubPhoto went out of business ($#@%&! bastards) I lost the links...UGH!

I may retake photos this weekend...now at 114k miles and I need to install a new filter.

Tip while doing this if your a/c has any kind of smell.

Get a can of Lysol Disinfectant Spray spray and turn the car on with a/c on highest using outside air. With filter removed, spray the can liberally in the duct. It will kill the bacteria stuck in the whole system.
Does this harm the air compressor or anything?

Do you spray directly on the filter then install it or do you spray down the vent with the filter removed?

By what I read, you spray it down the vent...not on the filter...

Thank You for the pictures and write up...

Props to those who have shared there knowlege..this was a really easy change.

I found that no tools were needed.. just gently pull up on the portion of the plastic piece that says "up" and only pulled up about 4-5 tabs enough to have access to the filter.

Then un-clip the filter, remove the plastic frame that holds the filter and replace the filter w/ your new one. Make sure you pop it back in correctly there is a rear and front tab on the car where the frame and filter clip in.

Pop the weather stripping back in and your done!

Thanks all,

To the suggestion of putting dryer sheets on the filter. I change the dryer sheet every month and there's TONS of pollen on it. Filter still gets dirty but from the looks of the dryer sheet, will prolong the filter for another 10k miles.
