I know the engine air filter is there, I was asking about a cabin (inside the car) filter. Is it still on the right side in the engine compartment?

I have bought a cabin filter for my car but can't locate where it is in the car. I just bought the car a week ago and no manual book came with it. Can you please let me know where I could locate it. Thanks

I want to replace the cabin filter. The air conditioner ticks sometimes when the blower is running down to stop.
Is it easy to replace the filter on Impala?

The filter is not hard to change but I assure you it is not causing your noise. Removal Procedure Position the windshield wipers in the UP position, by keying the ignition OFF when the wiper reach the desired position. Open the hood. Position aside the rear hood seal halfway to the center. Remove the washer hose from the right air inlet grill panel and position aside. Remove the 2 push pin retainers from the right air inlet grill panel. Important: Do not remove the third push pin retainer from the right air inlet grill panel. Position the left side of the right air inlet grill panel on to the windshield. Remove the water deflector cover. https://www.2carpros.com/images/external/117234586.jpg.gif Remove the passenger compartment air filter.
