Do Grand Prixs have a cabin filter?

**burgundybullet** · 03-06-2011

Alright, so i pulled out the plastic below the windshield to look for a spot for the cabin filter. There was no filter there at all. Since i bought the car like 6 months ago i figured that someone had taken it out and never put a new one in. However, i went to two different parts stores and asked for one and after searching their computers they said that they couldn't find one. I started to think that maybe they just dont make them for a Grand Prix. Does anyone know for sure?

no, you need to get one from a regal if you want one

No, they do not have cabin air filters. And it sucks because anything gets blown in your car. Do like ^^ said and get one for a Regal

what about 04+?

Local parts stores do have a listing.

But the car didn't have one.

04+ does have a cabin air filter.

The ones for the 04 gp's fit and iirc they're cheaper.

I ordered one from the dealership and this is what I got

GM# 52469891
It looks like chicken wire lol

So is this the correct filter I need?

Actually... is there foam inbetween the wire?

If so, thats probably a better design than the ones you get from other companies.

AKA lifetime filter. you take apart and clean.

Have a 3m furnace filter like it.

**cojo** · 03-09-2011

no there is not any foam between the wires...

**matt5112** · 03-09-2011

Well thats odd....

**cojo** · 03-09-2011

yea, so that wix filter says it fits Buick Regal & Lasabre 97-02; Monte Carlo 98-00 Cab Air. You think it will fit my 03 grand prix?

**matt5112** · 03-09-2011

yup.

**cojo** · 03-09-2011

thanks! any tips on getting to the filter? I hate those damn plastic clips/screws.

**tod1d** · 03-09-2011

I have never looked at mine after 3+ years

I have a '99 GT and I picked up an air filter for a '99 Regal GS. Didn't think it would fit at first by the shape to which it tapers down, but it fit just fine since it sits at a slight angle up towards the back of the car.
