Anyone got experience of changing this. I've looked on youtube, but my 2016 500X cross 1.4 manual seems to have a slightly different installation.


From what I gather you remove the two fir tree plastic clips holding the trim under the glove box


Remove the three torx bolts at the top inside


Then I have two torx bolts at the bottom under the trim


Its still stuck fast and I don't want to damage anything by pulling too hard

You also have to remove the N/S side end panel on the left of the glove box. Can't recall if there are addition fixings behind this.

This shows you all you need to know (even though its for a LHD - its the same principle -

The clips that hold the Glove Box are very brittle though so you will probably break a couple - has not stopped holding mine back in place though.

One thing when you do this - stick your hand in to fan itself when you have removed the old Filter - its a bit of a squeeze but make sure there are no bits of old leaves and broken 'bits' that have fallen out of the old filter on removal in to the fan itself - you only need a a small leaf left in there to make a really annoying 'hum' on the dash when the fan is on - it needs to be completely clear....
