Recycle air filter

Hi,

I had just placed an air filter inside the recycle air inlet behind the glove box. Seems that it does work, no smell and much cleaner air.

Anyone else have done this?

Lanos 1999

Just remove the glove box, cut a 3M air filter and place it on the mesh.
I had the pics, don't know how to attach the pic.

Great idea! Thanks. I'm going to take my glove box out & see about doing that to my car.

Great tip.

I know the Leganza has a cabin filter, not sure if the Nubira has one, but now we can add one to the Lanos.

Yes the nubi has one.

I'm not exactly sure where he is talking about though. When I removed the glove box all I saw was some black plastic boxes under there...

Pics will help greatly.

i did remove a large portion of the A/C box under the dash so i saw what damonfong is talking about... he just placed a filter on the air inlet for the recycle mode so practically he is cleaning the air inside the car which is already fairly clean.

i was hunting a similar project but i installed some porus spong sheet under the A/C intake vents on the firewall to prevent small dead tree leavs from accumilating in the A/C box (it makes a nasty smell when mixed with condensation water and it eats up A/C performance) but i ended up restricting the air flow too much

i would like to see pics of that filter you used damonfong; maybe i could find a similar material for my project.

as for posting pics; refer to this post:

this is a really good thing to do if you live somewhere like where i do. when you track leaves and things into your car they get crunched up and then blow out of the vents and you get covered with junk...

good find!

yep... thats what i expected... nice work man

my point here is that the filter is cleaning the air beeing recycled inside the car... if you switch to the mode where the blower gets air from outside the car then you will suck all the crap in the air outside the car.

that is what i am trying to filter here and i hope i can do it as taking apart the A/C for cleanup every year is a big pain in the @$$.

Thanks for the pics!

Now everyone can see where that filter can be placed.
