Since this site won't let me search, anyone know the cheapest place to buy a in-cabin micro filter for a 02 Maxima SE.

Cheapest I found was $44, delaer wants $80 to replace mine. I currently have 25K miles and had it 3.5 years.

Also is it hard to install. Doesn't look that hard by the instructions here,

Not very hard at all to DIY. The only thing you have to be careful of is not unplugging the airbag. Also, the first time I did it, I had trouble getting the whole thing back together, lining everything up to screw back in. Courtesy Nissan is where I get my filters. Not necessarily the cheapest, but I know I'll get the part.

 

Yeah thats where I was getting the filter at Courtesy Parts

 

You can also just clean it instead of buying a new one. Use soapy water and wash it around, then let it dry. Boom, saved you $44. How-to:

last time i checked that howto he said remove 4 screws. (i think he changed it when i brough it to his attention) you actually have to remove 5 screws. 2 that hold the clip 2 in the corners and 1 in the bottom right (in between where the two trim pieces meet) from what i remember about doing it it's easier if you first remove the plastic trim piece that runs parallel to your door sill.

http://www.courtesyparts.com/instruc...binfilter.html -- wtf is the glove box finisher?

 

I did mine at 24k miles. No problem but turned out it wasn't even dusty. Anyone see any dirt on their original element?

 

Ive never gotten a real answer on this but what about 5th gen owners (2k-2k1). Ive herd that we dont have this filter but we can add it. I live in AZ and use my A/C alot this is my concern.

 

Clean it...the ones that come stock are cleanable.

 

You can add it. Use the same procedure as the 5.5th gen. It's behind your glovebox.

 

D@mn, so many times this has been asked. ALL 5TH GENS HAVE THE ABILITY TO ADD/REPLACE THE CABIN MICROFILTER!

 

WELL IF THIS SEARCh on this site worked I would not have asked the ?

 

you've been here since 2003 so there's really no excuse for not knowing that you should read the stickies.

I have never been able to figure out what the "glove box finisher" is either. Perhaps it
was something on certain models.

 

nor any excuse to not know why search is limited and the alternative means of searching
I ordered mine from Jerry Rome. you have 2 weeks to receive 25% off. just after I bought several for the normal 15%

 

Hey Nismo, how do we get 25% off at Jerry Rome? Is there a promotion code you are using?

 

and 39 posts in almost 2 years obviously means he has only asked questions and never helped out others.

now there's a discount? god damn it!! i already ordered two of them last night from custom enterprise. one for me and one for my dad's i35.

 

....why hasnt anyone told him about DaveB yet?.....

Call Dave Burnette at Southpoint Nissan. Tell him I told ya to call. Hes got a Maxima.org special price right now, but its too low to post here


888-254-6060

 

what about you?

you obviously didn't search neither, nor even bother to look up the classified sections.

now let's stop the flaming and give the guy a hand.

here's the link for 25% off at jerry rome nissan, everyone hurry up and order cuz this won't last for too long.

i just ordered my AE floor mats, microfilter, great price, but slow A$$ shipping, i order 1 week ago, they shipped it yesterday. Myabe they took some time in clearing my payment from paypal i guess.

 

Geez nice comments guys!

This is my wife's car I don't visit here much as you can see. I own an 05 350Z Roadster and most of my time is at 350z.com.

Thanks for all who helped out and NO THANKS to the other flamers!

 

For some reason its not working when you try and pay, DAM!

 

Get them from Dave B or Courtesy Nissan

 

clean it and save money for gas

 

that depends on wether or not it was a factory option. If it came with the car when purchased new, then wash it out and re-use it. If you bought it as an aftermarket part, then you cannot wash and re-use it.

 

this is true but considering he has a 2002 with 25k miles on it, im thinking its stock
