hi

i just got a 97 prelude, the previous owner was a heavy smoker so i still
got some cigarette smell i would like to remove. up to now, it seems that
the air con is still having some of those smell... anyone know how to take
out the air con filter? would be great if someone can tell me step by step,
and include some pics would be even better... or some link, i tried to look
around the internet for days and i still can't find it, maybe some of u have
better luck... thanks...

cheers

On my 2003 Civic, you pull the glove compartment box out. After that,
it's fairly obvious.

They don't have an A/C filter

You will find AC air cabin filters in newer cars. Honda started
putting this in the 98 Accord and above not sure what year it started
on the Civic.

There is an in-cabin air filter for the Prelude (they're in the 2001
models, so I would assume they are probably in the 97+ models too).
I've not changed mine yet or seen it, but the filter is located behind
the glove box. There is apparently some cutting involved after you
remove the glove box before you can access and see the actual filter
to change it. I would think that after the glove box is out, you
should be able to see where the filter is located. If you have access
to the Helm's manual, you might be able to get some details in there.

AFAICT it was introduced in the 2K model year.

Look at www.helminc.com - you can order it there. Usually the Honda manuals
are $65 - $70.
