Cabin air filters, one time equipped exclusively on luxury vehicles, are now present in plenty of mid-level & economy cars, including the 2007 Honda Civic. The Civic's cabin air filter requires replacement at 15,000-mile intervals. Changing the filter is a straightforward procedure that takes less than ten minutes. The filter prevents particles, such as pollen & dust, from entering your Civic's interior.
Open the glove box. Remove any contents.
Start from the passenger side of the dash & pull the trim panel back, working your way towards the middle console; the left side won't come out, so don't break it. Leave the panel pulled out from the dash.
Pull the elderly filters out of the frames, install the new ones (ensuring to tuck them under the frame tabs), & reinstall. Replace the access door, replace the hinge tabs back in to the bottom of the glove box, replace the glove box contents & close the glove box.
Remove the glove box from the dash. Open the glove box & pull it towards you, though some models like the 2000 Accords need pulling the glove box up, then towards you.
