Replace 2007 Honda Civic Cabin Air Filter

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.

Change 2002 Honda Civic Cabin Air Filter

The 2002 Honda Civic has two cabin air filters behind the glove box. Honda recommends changing the cabin air filters in the 2002 Civic once a year or every 15,000 miles. Driving in dusty conditions requires more frequent replacement. A dirty cabin air filter restricts air flow in the passenger cabin and is less effective at trapping allergens and dust. If the cabin air filters in the Civic are dirty, they should be replaced with new ones.



Examine the bottom corners of the glove box door (with the door closed). You'll see a screw at each end.

Allow the glove box to drop down and locate the cabin air filter access door on the right.



Unscrew the Phillips head screws and the 10mm bolts from the metal support bar. Remove the bar by lifting up on one end and then the other.

Remove the old filters from the filter frames. Insert the new filters into the frames, making sure the tabs around the edge of the frame are holding the filter in place.
