How can I change the cabin filter on my car?

I have a 2003 Camry, and I'd rather change it myself than take it in. Can't figure how to get to it. Take out the glove box? Go in the engine compartment?

Check your owners manual it should tell you where the filter is. In most cars you have to do it from the inside rather than thru the engine compartment.

Open the glove compartment and with a philips screw driver, remove 3 top screws and 1 screw on the bottom left holding the compartment door to the dash. Right in front of you, squeeze the clips and remove the air fiter. Install the new one and installation is the reverse process of removal.

Open the glovebox, on the right side, you will see a black "shock absorber" held onto it by a #1 phillips screw. Remove the screw and pull up on the box and tilt it out. You will see a black rectangle door, pull on the cover and pull the tray inside out. Make sure no debris falls from the cabin air filter into the blower motor below it or it will start to make noises when you turn the blower on.
