When and how often do you replace it?  Got any pics on what you need to do to get it out?   Instructions? 

thanks

The accessory catalog lists two different ones for AC units.  I wish I had one in my non AC GV, as leaves actually blow out of the defroster ducts sometimes. 

Has anyone put one in a non-AC Grand Vitara??

Trackers have them too. You have to take the glovebox out.
It's a small black box about 1 1/2 in standing up and down on the left side of the glovebox area.

The filters are quite easy to remove, clean and put back.  No need to replace unless they are damaged.  I did mine in about 1/2 hour which included cleaning time with the air hose and shop vac.  Mine was really plugged to the point where I was getting almost no air through the vents.  The downside was that the blower motor resistor blew and I had to resolder it.  Bought a new one but the repaired one is holding fine after about 4 months.

The factory manual details the actions.  The Vitara manuals are available somewhere on this site in PDF form.  There are 2 pages and I copied the first page into a word doc.  The second page is only one bullet telling you to put everything back the same way you took it out.

Can't figure out how to attach MS word docs to this!  If you want to send me a quick email, I will return the doc as an attachment.

In case you actually get in there and can't find the filters to replace.....  Many of the trucks (my 03 Tracker included) didn't come from the factory with the filters.  The slot for them is there, but the bean counters didn't think it was important to actually include the filters. 

I've found a good source for parts in general.
