on a nissan frontier 2006, is it located behind the glovebox? ie. empty and unscrew
the box and replace filter?

is this an OEM part (napa, autozone, etc..) or only available from dealers?

thanks

Not trying to be more anal retentive than usual, but OEM stands for Original
Equipment Manufacturer, which usually means dealer. Aftermarket means napa,
autozone, etc.

That being said, some of the aftermarket car parts places do carry cabin
filters, but when they do, they generally charge as much as the dealer.

thank you for that. Can you assist with the original question on location of the
filter?

All the Nissans I have seen have them behind the glove box. If you get the
OEM filters from the dealer, they include an instruction sheet on what you
have to remove to get to them.

The filter is behind the glove box. I ordered my replacement filters
from Courtesy Nissan over the web. The instructions that came with the
filter mentioned a screw, but my truck did not have a screw, just a
plastic snap. The hardest part was lowering the glove box to gain
access.

See

or http://tinyurl.com/2tcmgj . The web page includes instrcution. They
were fine for me, except I did not need the 8mm wrench.
