INFINITI M35 / M45 IN-CABIN AIR FILTER SWAP DIY
OPEN YOUR GLOVE BOX.
GRIP LEFT SIDE OF THE GLOVE BOX AND PULL OUT THE GUIDE/RETAINER TOWARDS THE RIGHT, (THIS WILL USE SOME FORCE, BUT IT WILL COME OUT).
GRIP THE RIGHT SIDE AND DO THE SAME (PULL TOWARDS THE LEFT).
UNCLIP THIS CORD; IT UNCLIPS PRETTY EASILY WITH YOUR FINGERNAILS.
THE BOTTOM OF THE GLOVE BOX IS HELD ON BY 3 CLIP ON HINGES. PULL THE GLOVE BOX TOWARDS YOU ONE SIDE AT A TIME AND UN-CLIP THESE. (YOU MIGHT NOT EVEN HAVE TO UN-CLIP THESE, BUT MY GLOVE BOX FELL OFF BEFORE I EVEN GOT TO THIS STAGE SO I JUST ADDED IT IN THE WRITE-UP).
REMOVE THIS PANEL.
REMOVE THE DOOR TO THE BLOWER. IT UNCLIPS BY ONE TAB ON THE RIGHT AND IS CONNECTED BY TWO TABS ON THE LEFT (BE CAREFUL NOT TO BRAKE ANYTHING).
PULL OUT THE OLD FILTER.
REPLACE THE FILTER WITH THE NEW ONE. IF YOUR NEW FILTER SHOWS AN AIR FLOW ARROW, POINT IT DOWNARDS.
WHEN PUTTING THE BLOWER DOOR BACK ON RAISE THE FILTER UP TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE BLOWER SO THAT THE DOOR CAN CLOSE AND THE FILTER IS SEATED PROPERLY. ON THE BACK OF THE DOOR YOU WILL SEE THE PLASTIC EXTENSIONS THAT THE FILTER MUST SIT ABOVE (PICTURED BELOW).
MAKE SURE THE DOOR IS CLOSED PROPERLY.
PUT BACK THE BLACK COVER.
PUTTING BACK THE GLOVE BOX IS A BIT TRICKY BUT YOU CAN DO IT.
FIRST RECLIP THE CORD.
PUT IN THE RIGHT GUIDE.
CONNECT THE BOTTOM HINGES.
PUSH IN THE LEFT GUIDE.
MAKE SURE THE GLOVEBOX CLOSES PROPERLY… AND YOU ARE DONE.
