Many L200 owners ask where the cabin filter is located because it is not obvious. On this 2020 L200 Warrior it sits behind the glove box on the passenger side. Access requires dropping the glove box fully open by releasing the damper and two side tabs — straightforward once you know the trick.
This particular truck was on a 20 plate and had never had its cabin filter changed. The filter provides clean air to the cabin and a blocked one reduces heater and air conditioning performance and can introduce bad smells.

Open the Glove Box & Remove the Damper
Open the passenger side glove box. Look down at the left side hinge area and you will see a small plastic damper — a thin arm that controls how slowly the box opens. Pinch the end of the damper and pull it off its peg. Now the glove box will drop all the way down when you release it.
Release the Side Tabs & Drop the Glove Box
With the damper removed, squeeze the two plastic side tabs on either side of the glove box inwards — one each side. While squeezing them in, let the box drop all the way down. This reveals the black filter housing behind it.
Open the Filter Cover & Remove the Old Filter
The filter housing has a plastic clip on each side. Release both clips and pull the front cover off. The cabin filter is now visible. Slide it out — note the orientation and airflow direction arrow before removing it. On this 20-plate L200 it had never been changed and was heavily contaminated.
Fit the New Filter
The new filter has a directional airflow arrow — the airflow comes in from outside and goes down into the cabin, so position the arrow accordingly. Slide the filter into the housing making sure it seats fully and squarely.
Refit Cover, Glove Box & Damper
Clip the filter cover back into place ensuring both side clips engage. Lift the glove box back up and squeeze the tabs inward to snap it back onto its runners. Refit the damper by pushing it back onto its peg on the side. Shut the glove box and confirm everything is secure. Done.
