How to change cabin air filter honda pilot 2007

The two air cabin filters are located below the glove box, and hidden behind the dashboard knee panel.
They are quite difficult to reach. Search elsewhere on fixya for replacement procedure, i think i posted the instructions. Keep me posted

check you manual for location should be in you glove box area

It's ok to cut that bar.No rattle.

The cabin filter is located behind the glovebox.
First lower and remove the glovebox
If it has not been changed before, you will need to cut the plastic crossbrace behind the glovebox.
Once out of the way, unbolt the steel reinforcing frame behind the plastic and set it aside.
The cabin filter is mounted vertically behind it.
See images for further explanation:

Remove the four screws on the air filter hood (driver side, behind battery) using 5/16" socket. No need to remove screws all the way. Lift plastic hood just enough to reach air filter. Electrical connector can remain. Slid out old air filter. Insert new one. Replace hood, and tighten the four screws.

If the filter is tight, wiggle it left-right when pulling the filter out.

This solution pertains to a 2008 Honda Pilot...To replace the cabin air filter which is located on the passenger side of the vehicle behind the glove box: Open glove box and remove stored items...while sitting in the passenger seat, pull towards you on each of the two clips on the left and right side of the glove box...this will cause them to become loose and the glove box will tip out completely exposing the inside of the dashboard. (Alternately...carefully pull towards you on the top center of the glove box which will cause the left and right side stops to pull away from the edges and allow the glove box to tip out) Here it gets tricky...the box holding the cartridge for the cabin air filter is the large black box on the left side behind the glove box The filter fits in a removable tray vertically inside that box. A pressure clip at the top of the box allows the vertical cover to be removed exposing the tray with the Cabin air filter... BUT!!! There is a plastic bar an inch or so high which has been placed there by the manufacturer to prevent most from changing the filter without the service department being involved. This bar must be cut with a sharp sheetrock knife or hacksaw and discarded, (it will not be reinstalled). Then there is a flat metal bar behind the plastic bar that can be removed using an 8mm socket and a phillips screwdriver. There are 2 8mm screws and one phillips head screw on each side that must be removed in order to remove the metal bar. THEN you can remove the cover to the cabin air filter box, pull out the tray with the filter (note how the filter is in the box so the new one can be placed the same way) reinsert the tray with the new filter and replace the tray cover. All other steps to finish the job are obvious as everything is the reverse. Actually the whole process is a lot of trouble and unless you are determined to change the filter I would recommend not doing it.

Simple! No tools needed! Take everything out of glove box. Squeeze sides in until glove box can swivel down. You will se a black cover that has arrows on it showing the direction of air flow. Squeeze the side latches on that cover and it slides right out. The casing is "keyed" so it will only go back in one way. If you can read the wording on the cover, you have it right.

Your Honda Odyssey comes with only 2 filters: an engine intake air filter and a cabin filter.
To learn how to change your own cabin air filter, see my posting on youtube:

Open the glove box. Remove the damper from the glove box then let the glove box hang down

Remove the dust and pollen filter assembly from the evaporator case.


Remove the filter (A) from the housing (B), and replace the filter.

Install the filter in the reverse order of removal. Make sure that there is no air leaking out of the evaporator

It's located behind the glove box in the passenger seat of the vehicle. Visit HondaPilot.org to see step by step procedures for replacing the cabin filter.
