Replace the Cabin Air Filter on a 2014 Mazda 6

If your car's air smells less than fresh, or there's a lot of pollen and gunk in the air... you might need to replace your cabin air filter.

The Mazda6 is pretty straightforward; the filter resides behind the glovebox.

Required Parts

New cabin air filter (Wix 24103)

Step by Step Instructions

Empty your glovebox and leave it open.

First, look at the right hand side of the glovebox. There's a small plastic hook that attaches to the front of the glovebox, from the dashboard. Leave this hooked.

First, look at the filter in your car and notice the air direction. Set the new filter on your dashboard with the air direction going the right way, so that you can just slide it in once you take out the old filter.
