DIY Waja cabin filter

[gunnerzz]

As the title suggest...
I just had my filter replaced. I dont buy the replacement filter but i just replace the filter material itself only. Stock filter is paper type and it restrict air flow making me put fan speed to 2 which can be uncomfortably cold for me.

Lets start

The filter housing is located behind the glove box.

First, remove the glove box.its held using 2 screw.Recommend u empty the glove box first to prevent the stuff in the box being scattered on the floor.
Notice the black plastic cover, remove it to.Its held using 5 screw.

The shining piece of metal needs to be removed too. Held in place using 2 size 10 bolt and 2 screw.
This is what it looks like with the black plastic cover off. The filter is located behind the plastic cover with a small black box attached to it.It is held using 6 screw and 2 clip at the bottom.

This one screw is a bit tricky to remove.Its either using a short screwdriver or in my case a size 8 socket wrench.

2 clip to be removed at the bottom. I use a screw driver.
