Replacing the cabin filter Chevrolet Lanos

The cabin filter does not seem to be a very vital part of the car, however, if tightened with its replacement, it can seriously impair the operation of the heater or simply airflow. And this, in turn, leads to such unpleasant moments as:
- fogging of windows in wet weather, especially in rain (even if the windshield blowing is turned on at maximum);
- long warming up of glasses in winter.

We open the hood and begin to unscrew 4 bolts of the plastic located under the wipers on the right with a Phillips screwdriver in the direction of the car.
Then we take out the plastic to the right side from the mounts and remove it. The cabin filter is located on the right (in the direction of travel), in the hole that appears.
The filter should have a special strap (seen in the first picture), which is easy to grasp and pull out the filter. The problem is the metal baffle immediately in front of the filter. If you have impressive hands, it will not be easy to reach, since the distances are small, but possible.
Putting it back together, everything is the same. After replacing the cabin filter, the stove began to blow several times better, now the glasses do not fog up in wet weather, and in winter they move away from the ice faster.
