I changed mine last week...it has two of them....there is a panel right under glove box...pop that off and then you see two wing nuts....unscrew and take the metal panel out...pull the old one out...


I got mine from amazon 32.00 shipped 2 day free if you have prime

What does replacing this do? Just a clean filter for the AC/heat to filter through?

Precisely my dear Watson. Filters the aircon. Works especially well when it's not on recirculation.

Most models did not come with them. They were an option at the dealer. I have owned 4 SC's, and non of them have had them installed.

I just checked mine and there is nothing there. So either po took em out and didn't replace, or they were never put in.

My car didn't have them. But I wanted them with how dusty it is here in Vegas.
