Where is the Buick's cabin air filter located?
2 Answers
Buick's cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. Replacement method: 1. Pry open the side panel of the glove compartment, suitable tools are needed to pry it open directly; 2. Use tools to remove the four screws of the glove compartment and take the glove compartment off; 3. The black box inside is the housing for the cabin air filter; 4. Open the box, there is a hidden latch on the side, pry open the cover plate directly; 5. Take out the dirty cabin air filter inside, put in the new filter, note that the arrow on the filter should face downward, then cover the plate and reinstall the glove compartment, finally reattach the side panel. Buick is an automobile brand marketed by General Motors in the United States, Canada, and China. Its models include Verano, Excelle, Envision, Excelle GT, Regal, LaCrosse, and VELITE5 (new energy vehicle).
As a veteran driver who has owned a Buick for over 10 years, I've replaced the cabin air filter several times. It's usually hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You just need to open the glove box, remove some small clips inside, and you'll see a plastic housing where the filter is inserted. This location is basically the same for Buick models like the GL8 or Regal. DIY replacement is quite convenient - just do it every six months or 10,000 kilometers. It effectively filters out dust, pollen and other contaminants, significantly improving air quality especially when using AC in spring, which is great for allergy sufferers. I recommend buying OEM or compatible filters available at supermarkets or online stores. Don't delay replacement too long, otherwise the AC may develop odors and increase fuel consumption. Doing it myself saves a lot of money - just a simple screwdriver is needed.
