Hi Guys,

I think I have got a bargain from eBay (item # Item number: 250621122225) and would like to share with you. I just bought 2 x pollen / dust filter from a UK seller and only cost about A$37 including postage. The seller was http://stores.shop.ebay.com.au/A-Shop-Of-New-Parts-For-MG-Rover__W0QQ_armrsZ1. The filter I bought were for Civic, but they do fit in my 2010 CR-V (just have to trim it down by about 5mm)

This filter was made in Germany

Instructions are in in the owner's manual anyway, but here is how I did it.

Open the glove box, push both top corner of the box and it will pop out. Undo the hinge on as seen on the left hand side of the picture.

The whole glove box will tilt down and you can then take the filter tray behind it as below

I trim the Civic filter by about 5mm with a razor and it sit perfectly in the tray.

Thanks for viewing!

Looks like honda.com.au has updated its site, here are the information from Google cached:

Dust and Pollen Filter

The air inside your car is filled with billions of airborne particles. Honda helps you keep out these unwanted contaminants.
An Unhealthy Environment

The air outside contains microscopic particles such as pollen, fungus spores, dust mites, exhaust gas and more. If you or your passengers suffer from asthma or hay fever, then the environment can be very uncomfortable.


A Smart Solution

The Dust and Pollen Filter is made using non-woven fabric, closely packed to provide highly fine filtration.
It successfully captures the smallest particles and restricts unwelcome contaminants from entering the car.
