Default Cabin Air Filters

Hello Tampa Group!
FYI
As a new owner of a used 2002 AP1 with 75,000 miles and not knowing the maintenance history, I have been in the process of changing out all the fluids and filters.
My son mentioned to me that the cabin air had a "musty" smell. I also noticed the AC seemed to have low air flow. After researching this item on the main S2K website I discovered that many owners forget to replace the filter. I removed mine and found a totally clogged filter. Replacing the filter seemed to help both problems.

By the way, here's what my old filter looked like.
Also learned a little trick using a 5mm socket to remove plastic pins holding the rubber
hood seal. Push the socket from the bottom and the pin pops out.
HONDA pt. #79831-S2A-003; About $25, well worth it!

I order my cabin filters & engine air filters here: H & A Accessories

Great prices, I usually order 2 of each to save on shipping.
