Default DIY Air filter replacement

I noticed we did not have a DIY for this....this is so simple even I can do this without messing it up....


Press these small clips in the middle and they become skinny and can simply be pulled off





The air filter box has 4 clips - undo them and pull up...no need to loosen the manifold in any way



install new one and place the clips


old filter



You replace the plastic cover and the little clips and youre done, 10 minutes work

Thanks for adding this

Where you been hiding lately? You can add these to the thread since you have mod access as you create them feel free

Anyway you can do a step by step on the cabin air filter since it seems to cause a bunch of confusion and I no longer have my GS.

Hiding at home with baby #3 He is sweet but is time consuming LOL - I will be around more though

I just changed the Cabin filter last night, I can do it again, it is so easy.....

Since the OP photos are broken I went ahead and created a quick video for this procedure for any members needing a guide:
