cabin filter bolt

Postby nismopath » Wed Mar 22, 2017 7:53 am

I just got to change my cabin filter and noticed that the panel does not have the 10mm bolt. Is there a part number I can call Nissan with, or can I get it at Home Depot ?

Nissan won't show it on their parts diagram, however, you will see the bolt and spring nut on some aftermarket cabin filter instructions. I thing the original intention was to have the bolt and spring nut, as the case and door seem to be made for it, but they later decided to save a nickel and just rely on the plastic clip on the case. Not a problem; you can just go to your local hardware or auto parts store and pick up what you need for about a buck or two. I got mine at Lowe's in their general hardware section. I used a Hillman brand "M6-1.00x25 Body Bolt," which looks something like this:

And a 6Mx1.0 spring nut, or "U-nut," which looks like:
