How to Change the Pollen Filter on a Honda Accord 2007

The 2007 Honda Accord comes equipped with a secondary air filter, called the cabin air filter. The cabin air filter filters the air before the air reaches the inside of the cab. The outside air comes in at the vent on the passenger side of the vehicle and enters into the cabin air filter housing. The cabin air filter then traps debris and sediments inside of the filter.

Things You'll Need

• Flat-head screwdriver
• Phillips screwdriver

Instructions

1. Open the glove box and remove the contents from the inside of the glove box.

2. Remove the locking tabs that are located on both sides of the glove box.

3. Remove the screws from the left side of the glove compartment and the right side of the glove compartment with the flat-head screwdriver. Then, close the glove box.

4. Remove the plastic panel from the passenger side of the glove compartment. Then, remove the two Phillips screws from underneath the plastic panel.

5. Remove the left-side plastic panel that is under the radio. Then, remove the two Phillips screws from under this panel.

7. Remove the three Phillips screws below the glove box. Two of the screws are located underneath the glove box and one of the screws is located on the metal crossbar.

8. Disconnect the electrical connector from the left side of the glove compartment. Then, pull the complete glove box out of the glove compartment.

9. Remove the last two Phillips screws from the metal crossbar. Pull the bar out of the glove box opening and set it to the side. The cabin air filter housing access door is now visible.

10. Pull the access door off the front of the cabin air filter housing. Slide the first filter out of the housing. Then, slide the second filter out of the housing. Slide the two new cabin air filters into the housing.

11. Put the access door back on the front of the cabin air filter housing. Connect the electrical connector and reinstall the metal crossbar.
