How to Replace the Cabin Air Filter in an 8th Generation Accord?

The method for replacing the cabin air filter in an 8th Generation Accord is as follows: 1. First, locate the cabin air filter behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace it, start by opening the glove compartment lid. 2. Then, find the fixing buckle on the right side of the glove compartment and pull it outward firmly. 3. Next, remove the fixing buckle of the glove compartment lid to detach it. 4. Squeeze both sides of the glove compartment towards the center with both hands, and the glove compartment can then be removed. Once the glove compartment is removed, you will see the cabin air filter cover. Press firmly on the fixing buckles on both sides of the cover to remove it. 5. Pull the old cabin air filter outward. Finally, insert the new cabin air filter and reassemble everything in the reverse order of disassembly (pay attention to the installation direction of the cabin air filter).

Last time I changed the air conditioning filter on my 8th-gen Accord went pretty smoothly. The operation is behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, open the glove box - there are plastic limit blocks on both sides, just press them inward simultaneously to remove the entire glove box. The damper rod on the right side needs to be detached first, just gently pry open the clip with your fingernail. Then you'll see the filter cover - press the clips on both ends to pull it out, and the old filter will come out with it. When buying a new filter, get one with activated carbon. When inserting it, make sure the arrow points downward (this indicates airflow direction). Remember to reattach the damper rod after installing the cover, and when pushing the glove box back into place, it should click into position. Doing it myself saved me about a hundred bucks in labor costs, but be gentle with the plastic parts - if they break, it'll be troublesome. The filters cost around twenty-something yuan each, and I recommend changing them twice a year, especially before using the AC in summer - it significantly improves cooling performance and eliminates that dusty smell from the vents.
