It is $80 from the dealer spare parts department. Replace when it is black.

It should be a simple DIY job to install it, right? if so, I shouldn't have spend $150 + 3% stamp duty on it. I should just pick one up from spare parts department for $80, and just stick the damn thing in meself.

Can you fit one in Euro too? or Euro doesn;t have this design?

HI PNR888

It is a simple job, so long as you remember to check that about six plastic panels in the base of the tray have been removed. If still in place, the bit of plastic used to remove each one, lifts the element, which then impedes the travel of the air-direction flap. If still there, simply break them out, until you've got a lattice of thin plastic strips. Then just bung the element into the tray, slide it back into its hole, and re-fit the glovebox lid. The Honda 2009 Civic owner's manual shows how to CHANGE the element, but not how to INITIALLY FIT one.





Hope the above helps.
