This also works on 2004-2009 GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier, Chevrolet TrailBlazer, Isuzu Ascender, Oldsmobile Bravada, Saab 9-7X where there is no filter door already installed. Check out my other channel RC In Hand! / @rcinhand9671
This was a random search result after seeing a cabin air filter commercial... lol The curiosity light bulb went off because I knew I had never changed one on my 2007 Envoy. It's odd they'd set these up in early years for a filter, then never install the filter element, eh? I live in Wyoming now after living in North Dakota before (scoria dust from the roads is the main foe there), as well as Tennessee prior to that (pollen season is bad there, obviously). This is on my to-do list to cut down on dust in the interior, for finding the door from an early model (or a Silverado as others have mentioned) shouldn't be that hard considering how many of these were built. Thanks for taking the time to share this, for mine still looks nearly new inside and out after all these years.
My 2005 Trailblazer doesn't have the hole for a bolt. I made a cover out of HVAC ducting and glued a foam strip to the inside then drilled a hole in each end to fasten the DIY door.
Didn’t have to do that if you too the screws sittin behind the bottom of glove box the bottom half of the part you cut out comes off with the rest of the bottom covering.
Is there a part number for the little door? Or just type in cabin air filter door for 2005 Trailblazer on EBay? Follow up. I did finally get one off eBay & I've had it for a while now but I just got a Dremel & it made quick work of that plastic! I'm 6'3 & 340 lbs so it was definitely tight😖 but I got'er done👍🏿
@@toolinhand So I don't understand. You said the 2001 and 2002 had a panel to replace the filter easily. You said all years after that need a panel cut out like in this video. But now you're saying a 2003 doesn't have a filter whatsoever. So I don't understand. I have a 2003, so I would like to know.
I was able to cut through mine with a utility knife. Wasn't easy, but 15 minutes of cutting the 3 sides that were easier to get to and scoring the 4th side, I pulled down on it...it snapped right off along the 4th side.
try junkyard I got it free from few yrs ago. know it's not easy to find one anywhere I'd looked for. sick of smelling stinky air/dust. time for me to cut hole SOOOON!!!!
You need to remove the kick panel first. If you have an actual door, you'll see it. If you don't have an actual door, you'll see what I showed in the video.
