Default Cabin Air Filter Replacement?
Is there an easy way to change the cabin paper air filter without tearing down all the plastics + Battery?

I started to tackle this by removing the battery and then taking some of the plastics of. Then I thought I could just pull it upwards but the damn thing is like 3 feet long

I gave up on it and ended up putting it all back together.

Any good advice on removing it on a 2007 CTS-V

Thanks for the help.

This. It is a tight squeeze behind the battery though and honestly, kind of a PITA. Further reason why I'm anxious to get Fuzzy's review on a smaller battery.

Make sure you got a filter with carbon in it, itll help with the odors.
I bought just the cheapie one and it made it worse ha.

I think you got the wrong filter. You need a charcoal cabin filter. Help clean the air better. The charcoal cabin filter is spotted black.
