world's easiest cabin air filter change

[mpvue]

after hearing horror stories of changing the cabin filter in a Mazda5, I was dreading it in the CX-9. we just bought it used and the A/C really smelled bad.

all you have to do is pull down a panel at the back of the glove compartment, and the filter is behind a white plastic cover. I was done in a few minutes.

original filter looked like a 60K mile engine air filter, filthy! A/C smells pretty good now

Just be careful removing that any leaves/debris doesn't fall into the blower motor.

Dealer will gladly charge you $60 for doing that.
