Anybody know how to fit a pollen filter in the UK Cruze? I have lowered the glove box but the filter housing is covered at each side by a plastic band about three inches wide and all moulded into the facia moulding. No way to access without literally cutting it away and then what would happen?

OLDEROVERBOY is not oldroverboy!

Remove the glovebox and the auxiliary fuse box, there is a plastic dowel acting as a pin for the glove box "hinge" the pollen filter is behind a plastic flap which flips up or down, (sorry can't remember which)
SIMPLES.

2.There are two stoppers.

One of them you can take out by pull it (quite hard) with direction going just straight inside glovebox.

The second stopper from door's side is just like some "eye of needle"

3. After removing of stoppers glovebox will go down itself
and you will be able to seecabinair filter's case.

4. After lay back someplastic coveryou will see the aircabinfilter.

5. Take the old filter out and put new one.

Remember that arrow-heads on filter(You can see it on my filter's photo)
sould be to<strong ="bbc">DOWN SIDE[/B]cause AIR FLOW accros filter is from up to down,
