Overview This article will you how to change the In-Cabin Filter on a 2007+ Altima coupe / Sedan. It is difficult to remove the filter thus it will be difficult to re-install it.

Difficulty 1

Time 30 minutes or less

Tools Needed

Phillips Screw driverPrybar rag to cover prybar

Instructions

1) Remove the Right hand side console finisher cover

2) Right hand side console finisher with 4 plastic clips

3) Remove the passenger dash side cover (held in by clips)

4) Remove 3 Phillips screws on bottom of glove box 5) Remove 3 Phillips screws on top of glove box

6) Remove 2 Phillips screw inside the glove box

7) Pull the glove box outwards to remove it

8) Stick your head under the dash and look all the way to the back of the firewall and look for a push up tab (this pic shows the right hand side of the center console)

9) Here is a close up shot of the air filter cover with me holding the push tab

10) The air filter is easily accessed behind the glove box and it has a pull tab on the filter itself for you to pull it out. It's really tight so you need to pull it out with some force. Installation is the reverse.
