Does our C5 have a cabin filter like the C6? Just prowling over at the C6 section and saw a thread about it.

Thanks. Hoping there was, so that it would filter out desert sands this time of year.

I had the roof off most of the time in Vegas. I needed a spade to get rid of the sand

They sell a foam filter that you place over the cowl intake, it helps.

I think GM figured that is what nose hairs are for and decided against redundancy.

There are better methods back-flushing your built-in filter - do a forum search.

GM had them in their Silverado trucks for a while - I believe they have since pulled them out, (2000 to 2006 models). Customers had a tendency to forget about them which caused problems like poor heat circulation and foul smells because they were plugged up. They were rather pricey and didn't really prevent dust from entering the cabin anyway.

Actually,I'm happy that it the C5 doesn't have one.

My daily driver Mercury Sable has one that fits inside the cowl plenum.
It plugs up with debris far short of the recommended 30K mile change interval,and greatly reduces the heater and A/C airflow.

It's also a PITA to replace. I'm planning on just leaving it out next time.

Odd location......has anyone ever tried to change this "filter" ?

I use the foam filter that goes in the cowl vent. Amazing how much crap it actually catches.......you know when you wash it
Keeps my udders from filling up with crap
