This is a good time to check your owners manual to see is you have one, and replace if needed. Pics to follow.

Just wanted to state that a cabin filter is optional on a lot of cars. However if it was a option on your car, and your car did not come with one chances are there are provisions for one, and may only be a matter of installing one.
