Where is the Skoda Rapid's cabin air filter located?

Skoda Rapid's cabin air filter is located beneath the glove compartment on the passenger side. Here are some additional details about the cabin air filter: 1. The function of the cabin air filter is to purify the air drawn in by the blower before it is blown into the vehicle interior. If the air feels stale or dusty when the fan is turned on abruptly, it indicates that the filter is dirty and needs cleaning or replacement. 2. The Skoda Rapid is an A-segment entry-level sedan launched by SAIC Volkswagen Skoda. In terms of body dimensions, the Skoda Rapid measures 4512mm in length, 1706mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2603mm.
When I first got into cars, it took me quite a while to figure out the location of the Rapid's cabin air filter. It's hidden behind the glove box. You need to open the glove box door first, look for a clip or screw at the bottom inside, gently remove it, and then the whole box can be taken off. After that, you'll see the rectangular filter cover. Just pull out the old filter and replace it with a new one. The whole process is pretty safe, and doing it yourself saves repair costs. The key is to change it regularly, recommended once a year or before summer. Otherwise, dust accumulation affects the air quality inside the car, making it stuffy while driving, and may even make the AC louder. After changing it, I noticed a significant improvement in freshness, which is also better for health. If you do it yourself, you barely need any tools, and even beginners can handle it easily.
