Re: 2003 In-Cabin Air filter replacement = HOW?

I did not know the Rendezvous had a filter...now I'll have to go and check the wife's car to see where it is. On my Park Avenue, I changed it about a year ago. Somewhat of a PITA. In the Park Ave, it is way up under the dash, against the firewall.

If it's like the Park Ave, there will be 3 separate filters that connect to each other (one sliding onto the next). It's almost like an upside down Pez dispenser...when you slide the bottom filter out (the side of the filter box), the middle and top filters drop down...then slide the middle one out and the top filter drops down and then you slide it out. You load it the same way...sliding the top filter (they're all interchangeable, by the way...there's no specific "top, middle, bottom" filter) in the box, lift it up enough to slide the middle one in, then lift them up and slide the bottom filter in. The pain comes in that they connect to each other by sliding in/out of grooves...and when installing them, they don't cooperate. On my Park Ave, I just gave up and installed one after the other, but not connected to each other.

I'll check the wife's car and post back with what I find...


Update...at lunch, I checked the owner's manual, which doesn't even mention a cabin filter. I'll have to crawl up under the dash after work or this weekend to check.
