Hi guys,
Has anyone changed the cabin filter in a 2012 ? The previous owner was a light smoker, and even thought the car was cleaned and the smells good, when the heater kicks in and the fan blows, you can get a hint of smoke smell.

I am thinking if I change the filters, that will resolve it. I saw a youtube video locating it behind the glove box, but the model was older and the screw locations are not present as in the video ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Just try to choose a reputable seller. I've purchased filters from several different vendors, and all have been fine.
