Replace cabin filter 2006 Jetta

The cabin air filter is located behind the glove box, to replace it open the glove box and remove the small strut damper on the right side, drop the glove box lid all the way down, the filter is located inside the rectangular cover.

Usually the cabin air filter is located under the dash, under the glove compartment.

This is one of those topics that I have seen both ways.

1. The 2004 was the only MY to include an airfilter.
2. The late build 2004 to 2008 could have a dealer installed cabin air filter kit installed.

So don't be shocked if you go fishing for it, and it is not there. On to the directions :

Open the passenger-side glove compartment box. Remove all of the items currently stored in the glove box

Notice two screws on the inside ceiling of the glove box securing the glove box to the dashboard. Use a flat-head screwdriver to remove these screws. The glove box will now be loose. Wiggle the box off the dashboard and allow it to hang.


Locate the rectangular plastic housing; this is where the cabin air filter is stored. Remove the housing cover by pulling it out of place. Remove the dirty cabin air filter by sliding it out of the clips securing it in place. Discard the dirty filter.


Slide the replacement cabin air filter into the retainer clips. Push the filter housing cover back into place until you hear it lock. Place the glove compartment back into place. Replace the two screws that secure the glove box in place and tighten with the screwdriver. Place the items back into the glove box and close the box.

Hi. The 2006 Kia sorento is not equipped wiht a cabin air filter. Only the 07 and 08 sorentos are equipped wiht this filter.

I have an 06 corrolla. Open the glove box, empty it out, and on both sides you will find philips head screws holding the supports. Once removed the glove box will tip forward and expose the cover of the cabin air filter. Carefully remove the cover and pull out the filter.(note the directional arrows of the filter as you remove it) Installation is a reversal of the above.

It should be the same general procedure as the 02. Open Glove box and remove contents. Remove glove box stops and or glove box shock on side. With the glove box swung out of the way remove the panel that covers the air filter. Remove and replace filter. Reinstall cover, and glove box stops.

Its located behind the glove box. Open the glove box, squeeze the sides and it should come all the way down. The cabin filter is behind there.
