Thanks for the help gentlemen. A quick jerk and that thing came right off. Filter changed and glove box back in place.

Do this at your own risk, I'm not responsible if you break something using this easier modified directions.

First off. there are 7 screws total. Screw #6 is sort of a hidden screw.

Remove screw 1 -> 4. if you have a super long screw driver then remove 5 -> 7 also, if not then read next step.








Next pull off the glove box. Grab the 2 spots circled in red and pull upwards. This allows you VERY easy access to screws 5 -> 7 as well as a much easier time removing the panel. This step is OPTIONAL, but as i mentioned, it gives you easy access to screws 5 -> 7 and it also gives you a spot to grab panel to pull it off. To put the glove box back, just line up the hinge and pop it back in.




Next GENTLY pull off the panel starting from the RIGHT side first. You don't wanna damage that extension area on the right side by pulling too hard on the left. Insert finger where the arrows are and grab the bottom with your other hand and pull. Do the same on the other side.
Removing the glove box lanyard is optional (actually, mines popped off as i was figuring how to put the glove box back in after accidentally removing it) but it gives you more space to work with.
Remember, pull GENTLY, you shouldn't have to pull hard after removing the hidden screw, #6.


The rest you can follow caneman88's to install/replace the filter. I just have one thing that I found might be useful and that is to cut 4 slots on the bottom of the filter wall so that you can close the vent door without smashing the filter. You'll know what i mean when you take off the vent door. Just line up the slots with the 4 things on the door and make like a 1/4" -> 1/2" cut. See pic for approx locations, measure the actual location with the vent door.


Yes the arrow on the filter points down. Air is sucked from the top and down into the circular thing.

I assume you guys know how to reverse the directions to put everything back.

Rep points much appreciated if you found this addition helpful

*edit* Fixed broken image. Let me know if the links are broken and I'll upload it again.

Great job with the DIY. Bunch of cool peeps on here. This site or group has really answered so many questions a manual won't answer, and let's not even talk about some of the dealerships. they get real creative with some of their answers and OEW PRICES! Yes, I'm one of those that reads everything in the car manual but the safety part , I don't totally ignore it but let's just say I breeze through that. Hopefully this will help someone that needs a cabin air filter for the 370 Z at a really cheap price right now. Wal-Mart right now has the Purolator: C35479 for 6.79 free shipping. Yes free shipping. Of course I bought two. Thanks again for the DIY.

Just so you're not surprised, those aren't Purolator. They're aftermarket replacement. Not that it matters, I use replacements a lot, just thought I'd give a head's up.
Let us know if these fit well.
I just put a filter in yesterday and it cost me about three times that much. This would be a lot better as long as it fits well.

So, I did mine today after being in the car for seven years now!

I removed all the screws as shown in this thread, and then pulled on the glove box - and the whole assembly came out....

Really was easy, then look what I found when I opened the filter box door..

Thanks Nissan! Someone was in a hurry and didnt get it installed correctly.

Ohhh and the replacement filter was $7.87 from Oreilly's.

Thanks for the DIY!

I had same trouble with the screws also. If they went in hard, I just pulled the screw back out and picked another, until I found one that went in without high effort.

Make sure the clips that the screws go into are in the right position. This can cause headaches if not

I got it out back together but not happy with it cuz the screws aren't flush in a couple spots. But I don't think it'll fall out it feels good. Just annoying I'll have to work on it again another time. kinda hard to tell but 6 isn't in all the way although it won't move anywhere
