2008 Buick Enclave .How do I remove the cabin air filter there are no tabs
Sam, were you able to figure this out? I also have a 2008 Enclave, but I don’t think it can be removed easily. It looks like it is a dealer installed item?? Let me know. Thanks.
I have the same issue with no tabs… Did you ever find out how to get it open?
Also have a 2008 enclave cxl 3.6 , need info on cab filter
There is a procedure – you basically have to “cut out” the current opening. There is a kit that has the filter holder and these tabs that then slides in after the cover has been cut out. It’s easy with a drill and hacksaw blade. I’ll see if I can link the procedure
Hi Todd. Were you able to find the link to this procedure?
I still don’t see how to do this
