Follow these steps carefully
Covers all 2023-2026 Integras — base, A-Spec, and Type S. The Integra shares the 11th-generation Civic's filter housing, with the filter horizontal behind the glove box above the blower motor. Park level, engine off — no tools needed.
Empty the glove box completely — a loaded box is heavy once it hangs free, and items can fall behind the dash. With it empty, note how the damper arm on the right connects before you touch it.
Pull the damper arm off its peg with your fingers — it pops off with light pressure, so don't yank. Let it hang; skip this and the box won't drop far enough to expose the filter tray.
I've seen folks skip the damper arm step and fight the glove box the whole job. It pops off with light finger pressure — take thirty seconds, unhook it, and the box drops exactly where you need it.
Squeeze both side walls inward together so the box flexes past its rubber stops and hangs free on its hinges, exposing the filter cover behind it. If one side won't clear, squeeze that side harder rather than forcing the box downward.
Unclip the cover behind the glove box and slide the old filter straight out. Check its airflow arrow — on this platform it points DOWN toward the blower motor. Match the new filter's size, then wipe the empty tray clean.
Slide the new filter in with its arrow pointing straight down toward the blower motor, as the old one sat. If it won't sit flat, check it's right-side up rather than forcing it. Press the cover on until both clips snap.
The airflow arrow is the one thing you can't get wrong here — this platform points it straight down at the blower motor. I always lay the old filter next to the new one and match the arrow direction before anything goes in.
Swing the glove box up until it latches, then re-clip the damper arm onto its peg. Run the fan from low to high, cycling fresh-air and recirculation — airflow should feel strong and even at every vent, with no new rattles.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
