DIY Cabin Filter Replacement

[zenmasterMD]

Thanks to Hondaman2's presentation of removal/replacement of Cabin Filter, I was able to do the job in less then an hour. I couldn't believe how dirty the old cabin filter was. Again thanks and I'll be checking this forum out again should I need DIY help.

Are you sure it was dirty or are you mistaking the charcoal impregnating filter for dirt?

Pull the left lower trim off the console and vacuum the screen while you're at it. Takes 5 minutes and might help prevent the rear blower issue.

Note: I think Honda changed this design at some point, so I'm not sure what model years are affected past 2006.

Just wondering, I have 2012 Model Year, is the procedure the same way for my car?

I believe Honda changed this. But I don't know what year the change was effective.

I tried reading most of the 24 pages to see if anyone responded to the Accord owner -

My 2000 Accord Coupe used (2) cabin filter elements (stacked vertically). Honda included a removable metal bar that must be removed (along with the glove box). Very simple.

Sorry, I might have missed it. But is the proceedure for replacing the cabin air filter the same for all year Pilots? I have a 2010.

Thanks

Bruce - go up a little in this thread and view the video. 2009 and newer Pilots are very easy. I just changed the (must be the original) cabin filter in my 2011 this morning.
