I brought my 2010 to Valvoline for an oil change and as an optional service they offered changing the cabin filter. They spent an hour trying to figure it when it doesn’t even have one! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 They finally suggested taking it to the dealer. That’s gonna be a fun story to tell them the next time I bring it in!
Thank you!!!! I just got gifted a buick enclave but it had a massive mouse nest in the cavity under the windshield wipers. I got that out and have been using pet pee neutralizing spray but the car is designed to have a nice ledge "bathroom" right at the intake for the outside air. (nightmare) I wish the engineer who allowed a mouse sized hole in the design of this car had to come clean this mess up. This video will allow me to get deeper inside and spray some more. ugh...
Ok, I don't know if this will help anyone, but I cut the piece out and inside to the right side of the fan was literally a cavity that holds liquid, which was an actual little lake of mouse pee. or mouse pee and pee spray that I was shooting in from the engine compartment side. SO STINKY!!!! However. after a roll of paper towels and a bottle of pee spray and a stick as a tool to get all the horrid stuff out, I think I have now gotten it to the point where in 5 years I might not be able to smell it. I'm going to let it dry and spray it and let it dry and spray. I use "pet peed" spray it's high in hydrogen peroxide, It burns your skin if you come in contact with it, it's strong stuff. I'm hoping this helps. The guy who gave me the car was going to junk it because he thought the transmission was bad, but it's not yet... It was just a low coolant level caused by a bad water pump. If you know a vehicle engineer, could you please do what it takes to make them not make cars that can be accessed by mice!!! The car is worth probably 3k, but with 6 hours into mice cleanup and the water pump replacement, I won't be that far ahead. If you are buying an enclave check for mouse nests in the compartment where the windshield wiper motor is. (use a flashlight at night) If you see a mouse nest run...
Thank you very much for the video, it was very useful for me. I have finally added the filter to the 2009 Traverse. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Chile
Holy crap! My 2011 Traverse has the same issue. I’ve been wondering why I didn’t have access to the cabin air filter for years! Now I know!
Why do they not have this in there already!?!?! Man nice work great video and info. Thank you
Classic cutting corners cost savings

Wow! How does a vehicle that new not have a cabin air filter? Is it only certain trim levels that has is?
Thank you had the same problem with my 2010 it had no Trey so I had to cut it out but thank you much
Is it necessary to add it?
Not necessarily but does help keep out debris, pollen and if charcoal activated - bad smells.
Vey nice. Thanks Quick and clear. Parts and all.
Thank you !!
I have chevy traverse 2010 same problem. THANKS!
Glad to help
So you mean to tell me that i was charged for a cabin filter change when they couldn't even access it 🤔 🙄
i was trying to remove that damn cap and there's nothing on the other side! tha eff!😅
Hi, where did you order the cabin filter holder?
Thanks!
I couldn’t find the filter holder can I get the link to it plz
Where can you get the filter holder?
Amazon usually have them. Can also get from Ebay or Chevy dealership.
So I guess we can add our own. Mine doesn't have one either.
Tks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My traverse is like this too how stupid
