Panamera GTS 2013 In-Cabin Pollen Filter Change
Hello Everyone,
Changed the In-Cabin Pollen filter on my 2013 Panamera GTS. Assume similar for 2010-13 Panameras? Sorry, if this has been posted already, but I couldn't find it, so here are some pics of my experience if it can be of help to others.

-Pollen filter located in the front passenger footwell behind a plastic panel under the glove box.
-In-Cabin Pollen Filter is Porsche part #970-573-623-00.
1. Remove plastic panel at the top of passenger footwell.
-there are 4 tabs that must be released to remove the plastic panel to expose the housing that the pollen filter resides in.
-using a flat screwdriver, gently pry the panel down and slide the screwdriver forward to press the metal tab to release it. This is done 4 more times moving across the panel.
-Since the panel fits snug, you will probably be afraid to blindly pry and stab, looking for the remaining metal tabs for fear of damaging the plastic panel. Therefore starting from the left of the panel closest to the gear shifter, I measured how far each tab is from the left corner edge of the panel.
First tab about 2.5 cm from left corner edge.
Second tab about 17 cm from left corner edge.
Third tab about 31.3 cm from left corner edge.
Fourth tab about 43 cm from left corner edge.
-after tabs released, the panel gently pulls out.
2. Remove the cover of the Pollen Filter housing.
-There is a cover that slides off the housing of the pollen filter. It slides across in the direction towards the gear shifter. Snug fit so a little gentle force needed to slide the cover off. Once off, the bottom of the housing is now open allowing for loose dirt and debris to fall out and allows the filter to almost fall out on its own.
3. Replace new In-Cabin Pollen Filter.
-When inserting the new filter, the side with no writing goes in first. The opposite side has label writing on the edge that can be seen just prior to replacing the cover. On my car, the bottom of the letters are towards the engine side. If lying on your back to get access under the footwell, looking up at the label you would read it upside down. (ugh, of course I forgot to take a pic of this!)
-replace the cover sliding it towards the direction of right front tire.
4. Place back the footwell panel and you are done!!
Here are my pics (I'll post below). Hope this helps and not too confusing!
