How To: Replace The Cabin Air Filter

Be careful when changing your Mazda 2 cabin air filter and make sure you vacuum the enclosure using a hose attached to a hand vacuum as a lot of debris may get shifted onto the backside area of the filter and may subsequently get sucked into the blower fan.
 
This is also the fix for intermittent AC Clutch (Refusing to engage) that I was experiencing. I was about to pay hundreds to get the A/C System serviced.

I hadn't changed the cabin filters in 70k Miles. It was bad. Rocks... Seeds... I swear something was living in there. You couldn't even see the filter ridged anymore. Replaced them, now the AC works great again!

Take heed: these filters are a pain to get back in correctly.
