Has anyone changed or had the cabin air filter changed and know where it is located? The dealer told me it would be $70 to replace which seems a little ridiculous.
Right behind the glove box. Open glove box. Pinch the holders at the top to swing it down. Remove retractor rope on outer side and the glove box swings all the way down and comes right out. The cabin filter door is hidden right behind that black decorative piece that you also need to remove but you can peek up under it to see the cabin filter door which is marked filter.Has anyone changed or had the cabin air filter changed and know where it is located?

I didn't think to take a picture the first time and I posted after putting the glove box back in so I described from memory. If nobody beats me to it I'll snap a picture on the next filter change. If memory serves they look like the typical plastic push-in fasteners used all over vehicles these days to replace screws. In this case they look like something you might pry out but don't because they have that barely noticable place in the center that needs to be pushed in to make it release easily.Any photos of the three plastic shield retainers?
It may be a while before I get time because I live in Houston/Friendswood. I am one of the luckier residences whose house did not flood but I do have some roof and sheetrock repairs where water penetrated in.
I agree with daniel9478. After quite a bit of research from the internet, I have found this cabin air filter was wrongly listed to be the same as Town & Country and it seems that the only way to make sure is buying the OEM filter part number 68308950AB.As a quick FYI to those of you who come across this thread during a search or otherwise, the listings that some online aftermarket parts stores have for this cabin filter is NOT correct. It certainly does NOT use the same filter as the previous Town & Country. If the site you're using says that the filter is the same for the 2016 Town & Country and 2017 Pacifica, you should look elsewhere..
Can you let me know the link where you purchased your filter?I cleaned my filter and took some pics.
Push the pins in for removal. Push them out befor reinserting.
Thanks to hungvu for making this a simple process. Ordered parts 68308950AB and 68214516A after performing a quick web search. Settled on "MyMoparParts" for the vendor. Cost around $50 including shipping for both filters, arrived in under a week or so.I agree with daniel9478.

By the way, the same problem applies to the engine air filter as well and the correct OEM part number for the air filter is 68214516AA which I confirmed by looking at the actual one under the hood.
The aftermarket one I received didnt fit. I have not found a sucsessful aftermarket one and I am now thinking to order the OEM because it seams to have carbon filtration.Can you let me know the link where you purchased your filter?I cleaned my filter and took some pics.
