Pull the old air filter out.<\/li><li>Vacuum the space that held the old air filter to ensure you\u2019re not dirtying the new one right away. This is especially important if you don\u2019t have a garage or frequently park outside, as sometimes mice and other critters decide to make their homes behind the air filter in your car.<\/li><li>Pop the new air filter inside where the old filter was.<\/li><li>Slide the glove box up to where it was before and screw it back on.<\/li><li>Tada, you\u2019re done!
