Replace Cabin filter in 2012 Hyundai Elantra

 

 

The other day I brought my daughters 2012 Hyundai Elantra into the dealer for an oil change. They changed the oil and brought me the cabin filter to show me how dirty it was. It was dirty for sure! They said they could change it for me for 58.00. Wow! That is one expensive filter! I told them that I will pass for now.

After leaving the dealer, I went to the local auto parts store and bought a new cabin filter for 19.00.

Here is what I did to install it:

I opened the glove box and removed the stoppers that keep the glove box from opening too far.

 

 

 

You will see the filter cover.

 

 Pinch the tabs together on each side of the cover, and remove the cover. You will see the filter. Pull the filter out.

 

 **NOTICE- When you pull it out make sure you look to see which way the "flow" arrow is pointing so you can put the new filter in the correct way.

 

Here is the cabin filter for the 2012 Hyundai Elantra I got from my local parts store.

 

 

Insert the new filter with the flow arrow the way it was when you pulled it out.

 

 

 

That is about it! Just snap the filter cover back in, replace the glove compartment stoppers, and you just fixed it and saved money!
