He missed 2 steps: 1.removing the third screw for the knee panel which is located under the Radio. 2. Skipped removing the metal part that allow you to remove the filter straight without bending them. Newer filter like Fram breeze with carbon are hard to bend and may crack, so you need to remove that metal part. Other videos are more clear about this point.

[@teenice894]

Gotta respect the people who do these how to's with one hand to help others.. thanks!!

[@DukeGeren]

Exactly correct. Took me 5 minutes to figure out why the hell the glovebox wasn't coming out when I found that screw on the center bottom tab of the glove box holding it in place.

[@matthewsequoyah2665]

NOTHING is ever as easy at it’s presented. Especially when they leave out certain key steps ! ! 😡

When the filters are taken out, they are in a frame. You remove the old filters from the frame and insert the new filters into the frame(making sure the arrows on the filter and the filter frame both point to the left). In this video, the installer did not put the filters back into the frame before reinstalling the filters into the housing.

[@1AAuto]

+KeepItSimple The main objective of this video was showing how to remove the glove box to get to the filter, which most people have trouble with. The rest is pretty self explanatory

[@fogliner]

Mine was owned by a smoker for 10 years,I'm hoping replacing this will help get the smell out! Thanks!

[@lilin88]

thanks alot mike for the video... why would anyone dislike this video when you are just trying to help out the community? but thanks again

[@ronaleeciocco9455]

the replacement filters I bought fit perfectly in the frames, and the frames fit perfectly in the space, so I used them, as they surely seem to be meant to be permanent.

[@1575murray]

I was about to comment on this as well. The old filters come out of the frames so the new ones can fit into them and they are to be reinstalled (not the way this was done in the video).

[@SerJorahBorealis]

100% the frames are meant to be permanent. The effectiveness of the filters would be significantly reduced without them, as seen in the video (and when I tried without the frames) there is like a 1" gap.

[@profwaggstaff]

Very helpful, thanks. My 1998 Accord LX had an additional screw on the left side of the knee panel. I had to remove the small square panel above the storage tray, forward of the shift knob. Then remove the one screw holding the upper left corner of that knee panel. Also, I think you can install the new paper filters inside of the plastic frames you removed. In your video, you didn't seem to replace the plastic filter frames. All in all, it was easier than I thought.

[@1AAuto]

Thanks for watching. Have a great day! 1aauto

[@rico00042]

Thanks for the preview! Looking forward to doing this filter replacement next weekend. :D

[@gailgrove]

Thanks! I've been looking for a video on how to do this. Not sure why Honda had to make it so complicated to do...

[@smokum0]

Pretty awesome how you have to tear half of your car apart to change a filter. Top notch engineering right there!!

[@_Bee305_]

video is too raw, followed same exact steps. took like 15 minutes and had no problems.Thanks!!

[@gumman741]

Thank you alot im 13 and i did it with out any help except your of course i think my brother will be very pleased because he hasnt had time to do it if i can do it anyone can do it!! :D

[@rico00042]

I recently pulled a dead mouse out of my wife's fan blades. Honda made the fan a snap to get out, and the smell went away with the mouse. Might be worth look if your problems persist despite running the heater on hot for a while. Don't wait til his nearly decapitated head starts hitting the frame whack whack whack (like she did) unless you like using pliers to remove the dried bits. :P

[@jorgeyanez6271]

Thanks! Autozone told me it was behind the glovebox but that was it. I would have taken all kinds of stuff apart if i had not seen this.

[@GerardoAHO]

[@luvondarox]

Thank you for posting this! We were momentarily flummoxed by an extra screw holding the glove box in place (finally noticed the punk) and the rest of it was easy thanks to your tutorial.

[@Fuego-yu2ru]

After unscrewing the three Phillips head screws under the box, check below the center one for one more on the bottom bracket. Video doesn’t mention it.

[@Antiliblife187]

Mucho’s gracious!

[@hutch430]

Thank you for the video.

[@jesbsnrn]

big help thanks. just a comment. please , lets be careful pulling out the glovebox . before pulling out reach behind it. there is actually something hindering it from coming up and out. just push it out of the way for smoother removal

[@1AAuto]

We currently do not have an auto repair video that shows this repair on a right hand drive application. It could be in the same position on the other side of the car if there is a cabin filter.

[@lisad476]

Ty very much

[@l3chevalier]

Very nice! Just subscripted. Does the 1995 model has cabin air filter as well? Thanks!

[@scottgerweck1783]

WARNING--Some accords from this era have a couple more screws than shown in this video which must be removed to remove glove box assembly. My 2000 Accord SE had an additional screw under a pop-off cover in the center console area which attached the panel below the glove box; also there was another screw (lower than the three he removes) which needed to be removed to release the glove box.

[@1575murray]

On my car the mechanic who previously worked on the car left the screw under the radio out and put it in the glove box. He also left out one other screw which I eventually replaced. Needless to say he doesn't work on my car anymore and I have replaced the cabin air filters two or three times myself saving me a lot of money. I remove the lower brace as it makes it easy to pull the filters straight out to avoid breaking the plastic frames.

[@victimsoul]

WARNING!! WARNING!! There is a screw that holds the glove box in place. It is located at the bottom middle of the glove box. At 2:36, you can see the metal retainer it goes into. This little missing step caused me to dismantle my glove box thinking it was just stuck on something.

[@1AAuto]

@avsdavidt1 The 1994 Accord didn't come equip with one.

[@Sonyag1]

Excellent video. I did it myself. And to think that Honda would have charged me $150 to do a job that noly takes 15 minutes tops.

[@MichaelAntus]

Thanks...

[@hp11208]

cool mike

[@1AAuto]

@MrAlexdesousa The 1993 Honda Accord wasn't equipped with one.

[@jamesking8593]

Hi, thanks very much for helping with all you do. Please let me know if the 1997 accord is the same as the 98 shown in the video. Thanks a lot.

[@1AAuto]

Your 97 may not be equipped with one. If you have the dealer run your VIN number they could tell you. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com

[@jeehooahn3524]

thanks.

[@MrHeadshot1982]

I got do this to my prelude.

[@cdiazcetina]

There is a plastic housing on the original filter. the ones you buy replace the old ones but you must reuse the plastic mold on the old one or else the new filter will just jiggle around

[@Clearanceman2]

Is there a way to check the condition of the filter without taking the whole thing apart?

[@elmano04]

Does the 90-97 Accord have Cabin Air Filters as well? lf so, how to replace it?

[@GrannieDaigle14]

My 2001 had the extra screw too! Lol

[@djsnitch48]

i have a 97 honda civic lx, it sat for a year. I finally got it on the road. I so I turned on the heat and this god awful smell keeps coming out. How do I fix, and does this year of car have cabin air filter?

[@windo5]

what about a right hand drive ? thanks

[@MrEferrell]

Now you need to do a 2002 model. It is DIFFERENT. It has an extra screw at the very bottom of the glove box. I noticed in your video the bottom screw was missing. The panel crossmembers are different also, and require removal because one of them holds the door in place.

[@1575murray]

Many mechanics leave some of the screws out to save time and try to beat the flat rate hours so they can make more money. The missing screws go to their collection.

[@STuGBigSexy]

My filters dont stay in place, does anyone know how I can fix this? The stock filters had a plastic frame but the ones I got have a soft frame and so they just stack and whatever the box they sit in is called is wide open so the air just blows them over. Any helps appreciated!

[@damasyudhistira]

I cant find my cabin filter on my 6th gen accord. My own right hand drive

[@deeboi5720]

I noticed there was no plastic filter holders you just put the filters in? Did this car not come with them.

[@papo862]

whenever they got replace before probably didn't know and threw them out lol

[@Murp268]

Thanks, I'll breathe the dirty air. What a PITA for a filter.

[@luisparamo9402]

Will replacing this filter help to get colder ac?

[@1AAuto]

+chepepewis elevan Thanks for watching! It might improve air flow, but it will not make a noticeable difference in the temperature.

[@luisparamo9402]

@@1AAuto thank you great video

[@ashadiamir]

I try to find the cabin air filter on my 6th Accord 2001 but I didnt found it. There is no slot like showing in the video. Just a black huge box without any slot. How to replace it then?

[@1AAuto]

+Ashadi Amir Refer to your owners manual. Double check there. There may be some slight differences between models

[@rennaldobrown7087]

I only see the black box but no filter

[@adrianpalomino6450]

Doesn't anyone know how to remove that square storage panel for a 2000 Honda Accord SE? I tried just pulling it out but it won't really budge and I don't want to break anything

[@1AAuto]

Thank you for watching. Unfortunately we do not have a video for your application. We will keep this repair in mind for future videos. 888-844-3393

[@futurepoliceman]

i removed all the screws but my glove box will not come out at all. Any ideas?

[@1AAuto]

There could be a strap, or possibly a hinge holding it in place. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@cameronkrome]

In case you didn't already get it, there's an additional screw below the bar with the three across, right in the center. Messed me up too... :-/

[@whitetiger7049]

there is still one more screw that need to remove under the radio in the left side 😆

[@PhatkatCollections]

This completely wrong. You do not put the filters in without the cage . The filters need to be put inside the plastic cage then inserted. Your seriously a mechanic?

[@Red-sc8zw]

This is why I won't follow you guys, you didn't even trim to fit it back into the original frame from proper air filtration
