Air conditioner filter.

Good afternoon:
Where is the Ac cabin filter located and is it easy to remove to change/clean?
Thank you.

What year and model? On my '12 MCS, it's just below the dashboard on the passenger side. I used a youtube video to figure out how to change it..

Just behind the glove box. You can pop the panel down easily and pull the filter out.

Why cleaning it? Just swap the filter with a new one. You can get a good K&N/MANN filter for a cheap price.
