View Full Version : In-cabin air filter for the 03-06s? Cadillade 05-12-06, 03:53 AM Are there aftermarket kits out there to keep odors, dust, and pollen from coming inside the vehicle? I know that on the WJ (99-04) Jeep Grand Cherokees, you can get the filter that fits over the air intake where the front wipers sit.
I know now the 02s has one. Have anyone try to make that fit with the newer models? Even my $25K Buick Terraza minivan has one!!!
Thanks.

That's news to most on this forum. You have a link or proof? My 03' has no filter, and no place for it :( , 02's were the last year, unless someone made a kit for them. rokum99 05-12-06, 07:30 PM :wtf:
I don't think so! integline 05-12-06, 10:32 PM yea i dont believe my 03 has an air filter. i wish it did, my allergies suck My 03' has no filter, and no place for it :( , 02's were the last year, unless someone made a kit for them.
+1 That doesn't stop the quickie oil change people from offering to change it every time I have my oil changed there. I love it when they bring in my dirty cabin air filter to show me how badly it needs to be changed. :bigroll:
IIRC the last year for the cabin filter was 2002. slk230mb 05-12-06, 11:47 PM +1 That doesn't stop the quickie oil change people from offering to change it every time I have my oil changed there.

:yeah: integline 05-13-06, 03:43 PM i wouldnt trust those people. I took my truck into Jiffy Lube and the manager had a Deville on 20's. So we got to talking and he gave me a discount and they checked my fuel filter for me since i just crossed 50K, adn it was filthy. Moral of story, make friends with Cadillac owners that work at Jiffy Lubes!! then you will get taken care of! Stoiz11 05-14-06, 06:01 PM Part Number:24814UPC Number:765809248144Principal Application:Cadillac Escalade (03-06), GM Trucks + SUV Models (03-05), Hummer H2 (03-05) thats a wix part number and the application, go to wixfilters.com and see the location of the cabin air filter. I don't post unless i know what im talking about, and seeing that i have an auto parts store and repair shop, i got good info. Hope that helps you guys out Cadillade 05-14-06, 09:26 PM Looking into the WIX website, I found out the location of the cabin air filter is behind the glovebox. Does the 02s have cabin air filter in that location? I thought it should be easily accessible.
Looking at my truck, how in the world would you able to put a filter behind the glovebox? The huge black plastic ducting is in the way and I guess you have to take that off to access the filter location. Stoiz11 05-14-06, 10:58 PM thats where all cabin air filters are, in the duct work for a/c & heat, thats where it filters in. In VW cars and ford taurus's they are in the cow, some are behidn the glove box. They aren't always that big, i know on my dads 02 seville it is a 3 piece one, it's three rectangular strips basically rokum99 05-15-06, 07:11 PM :worship:
My apologies Stoiz11 Cadillade 05-15-06, 10:29 PM Has anyone tried to take that ducting apart under the glovebox? I don't know exactly how the ducting is put together under the passenger side dash.
It would be interesting to find if there a place to put the cabin air filter. I don't suppose it is a easy job unlike in my GM minivan where it has the filter door accessible in the glove box.
Thanks. Fred STS 06-19-06, 04:17 PM Stoiz11 thanks. Just posted a new thread on this after finding there is a part number for the cabin air filter. Owner's manual has nothing on this.
