its behind the glove box. you will see it at your right. the cover is about 1 1/2" to 2" tall, and is white. it also has 4 tabs that comes out real easy. just pull on it. When you in stall a new filter make sure you put it in the right way. you can mess you your blower. also have a bag ready there could be a mess in there.
hi dman
thanks for the instructions.... I'm thinking of running the AC without any cabin filter, to try to improve the air flow. Do you think that would be okay, or could it damage the AC motor somehow?
I saw another site where a leaf had made its way to the filter. Wouldn't want that going through to the motor. But then how do systems without Cabin filter manage?
cheers

Don't run it with out the filter, something might get in there. I have pulled leafs, rocks, paper and all kinds of stuff out of there. check mine once a month. could not tell you why other cars don't have fliter. you can't go wrong with it in. cuts down on the dust.

cabin filter for cx-7
Thanks for the info on where and how to remove the cabin filter on the cx-7. The dealer charge is $69.99 installed. One more question, could the filter be removed, cleaned and reinstalled, or is this not recommended?

yes it can be removed just make sure you put it back in the same way it came out. you have to squize it alittle to get in there. cleaning it, i just shake it out tap it on something to get bugs and rocks out. by the book you change it every 12000 miles i belive. its takes not even 5min to do. you do have to buy the fliter from the dealer. i don't remenber the price of the filter.

cx-7 cabin filter replacement
So, the glove box must come off on the Cx-7 to replace the cabin filter?

no you will see two stops on the glove box when you open it just push those stops in and it will move down a little more witch gives you the room to work in there.

Cabin Air filter replaced
+1 on how easy it is to break the glovebox lowering control piece. Like others have said, the filter does need to be squeezed/bent/curved horizontally to make it around an obstacle in the way (actually, the top of that control piece). Now it flops down like the old ones used to.
Anyhow...it is very easy to change this out. Mine was full of dust/bugs after 18 months, didn't think about it until I read a post that it actually has one...first modern vehicle in some time, these weren't common "back in the day".

Happy I found this thread.
Dealer wants $53.00 for a new filter.
$53?!?! That has to be wrong. I can get it from the Grease Monkey up the street for $10.
Even better!
My mother's CX-7 is about 1.5yrs old now and I'm trying to keep up with her maintainance from one state away.
