Mazda 3 Cabin Filter Replacement
Mazda 3 Cabin Filter Replacement is demonstrated in detail in this photo report.
In many cars, replacing the cabin filter is not difficult—a 5-10 minute procedure where the hardest part is simply removing the glove box. However, the design of the Mazda 3 BL offers no easy route for those wishing to change the cabin filter themselves.
Besides the usual removal of the glove box, the owner will have to deal with the battery, removing decorative panels, and disconnecting fuses. Nevertheless, any car enthusiast can handle the filter replacement.
