Originally, I discovered this forum while looking for advice on changing the cabin air filter on my '07 Entourage. I only wish that I had found all of you smart folks before I used a pair of pliers in an attempt to remove the little black hinge stoppers inside the glove box. Or, more precisely, before I smacked my knuckles with the pliers, and taught my grandsons some words that I will pay for later.

For those who haven’t tried this trick, I have some advice. I went to O’Reilly’s and got a cabin filter plus an air filter for the engine for less than $20 total. As far as I can tell, they are identical to the previous dealer-installed pair which cost me $126 with labor included.

About the procedure: turn to page 6-22 in your ‘07 Owners’ Hymnal, and follow along.
Ignore figure 1. What they didn’t show you is that the support rod is outside the glove box, on the right side. It sort of snaps onto a small easily broken stub. Gently push the rod to the right and it pops off.
Scoff at figure 2. If you can see anything like figure 2, you haven’t a prayer of getting the stoppers out. Close the glove box door until your pudgy little fingers can just barely wiggle the stopper. See? It’s loose.
Howl at figure 3. Sharp corners, right? Use Neosporin and band-aids on your ripped fingernail.
Forget figure 4. Go get the car vacuum and clean up that mess of dust and bugs you just dropped on the floor. You’ve been breathing some of that, you know.
Congratulations! You just saved a hundred bucks, which can now be diverted towards martinis for your convalescence.
