@@MrSubaru1387 My luck, I just got myself a 2005 Legacy... 😁 It's a bit baffling that you almost have access to it after removing the inner pocket, but just almost. I just finished installing a roof LED bar so I already took most of the interior out to do some hidden cable install, but just installing a new filter should never be this hard.

I just did this but only removed 2 screws (inside glove box), 3 clips (across bottom below glove box), the glove box hinge screw/clip and right side glove box screw/clip (under upper side cover panel). The trick is you have to get the dash flat slots out of the left side glove box slot holes then you can just pull the glove box holder assembly back and get access, without removing everything else. Not the book way to do it but much faster. I did not break anything!

If you do this... when everything is apart, there is a rectangle traced into the panel that blocks the air filter, you can use those as a template, cut along them and never again have to remove all those panels to get at the filter, just the glove box. The glove box itself hides the hole you cut.

Agreeing with others here, messing with center console is completely unnecessary. Mine went something like this and took 10 min: Pop off side molding. Fully remove glove box (unhook spring cord, push in tabs to let swing down, remove right side push screw/clip to fully release glove box). Remove service manual compartment. Remove 5 push screws to L-bracket plastic piece, remove piece. Press tabs on both side to remove filter holder, it'll slide down and out easily.

Mr Subaru, you said access panel update 2006+ I have the 2009 3.0r. It's 5 plastic screw clips directly behind glove box. If I pull the glove box insert, drop the door, is the cabin filter directly behind that plastic panel? It's dropping the entire box that has me stuck to get to the bottom 3 clips. Taking half the passenger side interior panels to change that.... I'll fix the filter when cleaning out the si shift button that starts to stick if you actually use the center drink holder. Happy New year my friend.

I thought I had accidentally unplugged them during the process, so I decided to plug them back. After I started my car, my CHECK ENGINE light got illuminated. It went off again when I unplugged these wires. Any ideas what are those wires, what is their function, and why are they unplugged?

If you have auto climate control, and good flow through other vents, there is a pretty good chance you've got a bad blend door motor. Somewhat ironically, the same disassembly you see here is required to get at the motors on the passenger side. Driver side motor is a bit easier (in terms of disassembly anyway), but the issue you describe is more likely one of the two on the passenger side.

Thanks for the vids. A little off topic, but what is your experience with Subaru 2.5 engines and piston slap? My 04 forester with only 107k miles has it; knocks when it is first started, particularly loud in winter, but goes away once the engine warms up. Been like that 3 years now. Is this typical on flat 4's? Car is fine otherwise but needs struts and tires. I'd gladly do that work, but am wary of putting money in it if this noise just means the engine won't last. Curious to get your input since you have quite a few older Subarus.
@MrSubaru1387

+anthm76 never really experienced "piston slap" possibly you have some valve train noise. Valve adjustment needed, etc. Hard to say without hearing it first hand. My 2002 Outback just rolled 280,000 miles and I know several people with 300, 400, 500, and 600k miles on their original engine. I wish I had a magic 8 ball I could use to reassure you, but I don't. Anything can happen, but as long as you're on top of the maintenance, it should last you many years and many miles more.

Brian - the manual advises to have the dealer do it. This doesn't look, from this video, like something an average-handy person can't do themselves rather than pay the shop. There is a way to build-in a future shortcut (see more recent comment, involves cutting in an access behind the glove box) to avoid removing all those panels - if you plan to own it long enough to change the filter yourself yet again - and of course anything they can leave as not-quite-DIY feeds more maintenance job$ back to the dealer. I think I'll try.

There would be an easier way, if that specific car had the access panel, that was thankfully added at some point during 05 model year and all subsequent. But you can see at 6:03 of his video, that specific car was lacking the access panel for the cabin filter. (Which is why he had to remove so much extra stuff to get access.) For contrast see the "much easier way" in another video (1A Auto's how-to on an '08 Outback, with the access panel that makes this task much more reasonable.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/maG6nniKg6mda6c. At 1:30 in that other video, you can see an access panel with the usual plastic screw/clips. Thank you MrSubaru1387 for showing the alternative on that "hard way" model. Now... I'm dreading what I'm going to find under my '05 glove box. If mine is lacking the access panel, then I might try cutting an access panel.

On my 06, there’s a bunch of additional screws for some reason. I’m the 3rd owner.

WTF! It’s as if a Subaru engineer decided to see just how difficult he could make to change something so damn simple. You SHOULD be able to just drop the glovebox and remove the filter cover, that’s it!! But nooooo, apparently not only don’t they want the average owner to DIY, but you’re probably not going to want to know how much it would cost you to have it done by a garage. I love my 05 but damn !!! I have to replace my drivers side window master switch, so I checked KZbin to see what it involved, well I first watched one on a 2004, and it couldn’t be simpler, just pry up the old one, unplug cord and replace. The 2005, not soo simple, you have to remove the upper door first, then unscrew it from below. I’m not sure what happened in 2005 that pissed off Subaru engineers, but damn!! The one good thing that I’ve noticed about Subarus from 05 and up is I haven’t seen one with quarter panel rust, I was originally looking at older models and couldn’t find one without rust! That’s when I finally decided on the 2005

Yeah nah , uhm im just cutting a gaping hole in the plastic behind the glove box tray after i take it out ,soon as i seen you un bolting the center council for a issue that needs fixed behinde the glove box i just said nah nah nah im making that easier cause its clearly a design flaw or just a way for shops to milk hours because they should have just lined up the filter housing with the glove box cubby the its one piece to pull out lol

There has to be an easier way, it takes too much time for a $21.°° Filter? Half the plastic under my dash has been pulled apart and busted!

I watched this in hopes I might get intel to change filter on my 98 Legacy. Didn't help really. But my Legacy is a pain in the ass every step of the way. I'll never ever own another Subaru. Ok Toyota, you got a new buyer!!

OMG, so much for "change cabin air filter once per year". It would be more time and cost effective to just get the car professionally detailed and buy more air freshener lol

I'm not able to get past the step at 3:26. You edited and the video as you unscrew the shifter knob; before the edit, the panel is secure, after the edit, the panel that surrounds the shifter is loose so that when you finish unscrewing the shifter knob the panel comes up as you pull up the shifter skirt. On my car, I can't figure out how to get that panel to come loose.

Jesus dude you might as well take the transmission out too. You did wayyyy to much work. You don’t have to take out all those brackets or plastic rivets on the side. There are flex snap posts you just flex and it pops out.

I have an Australian 2006 Outback, and if you pull off the grill, wipers, etc you can pull out the filter too. I replaced my filter maybe 2 years ago and I sure didn't have to take apart anything with the dash/console. I'll post a video soon...

The 2006-2009 US version had an access panel inside the glove box. The 2005 did not. This is how you have to access the 2005 US version.
