As an experienced car enthusiast, I recently helped a friend replace the cabin air filter in his Honda XR-V, and it was quite simple. The filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, open the glove compartment and remove all items inside. Then, locate the damper rods or clips on both sides and gently loosen or remove them using a screwdriver. This will allow you to remove the entire glove compartment—be careful not to force the plastic parts to avoid damage. Next, you'll see a rectangular filter cover, usually secured with clips, which can be pried open with some force to remove the old filter. When installing the new filter, make sure the arrow direction points downward or toward the rear of the car, indicating the airflow direction—installing it backward will reduce effectiveness. After replacement, reassemble the glove compartment and clips. The whole process takes about 10 minutes. I recommend replacing the filter every 15,000 to 20,000 kilometers to prevent bacterial growth and odors inside the car, while also saving over 100 yuan in labor costs at a repair shop. The key is to buy OEM or compatible filters—avoid cheap, low-quality products.
