Repair Guide: 6th Gen Cabin Air Filter Replacement
Great write up Taz! I changed my 05 when I got it at 60k miles - have no idea if it was ever done by the previous owner. I think I have changed the 03's once (it only has 25k miles on it). I might change my 05's once a year (approx 12k miles per year).
My AC-Delco cabin filter was $16.34 at rockauto.com. I had five items total and shipping was $9+ change. I replaced all of the small push pins on the cowl from some from the dealer. The new ones had a gasket around the push pin.
The quality of the aftermarket cabin filter that was in the car was no where close to the quality of the AC-Delco one. I don't know what brand it was. At least I should be good for awhile.

.....Now that's Two items that I need to check into.
1. Supercharger Oil
2. Cabin Air Filter
I have no idea if the first owner ever did both ?
I have 57,400k on it now. Bought it with 56k on the OD.
Thanks Taz for the info.

I found a good amount of water on my floorboards... First thing I did was went out and bought a new cabin air filter.
Seems that my weatherstripping took a crap on me, and it's time to look into the fix for that weatherstrip... RTV'd it into place for now, but I know you can buy a plastic piece that replaced the weather stripping completely and will NEVER let water in.

got my car after an oil change, after two weeks, noticed water seeping on my passenger floor, i figured it has something to do with my cabin air filter. will it be an easy project? or do i need an assistant?

I just thought I would post additional Diagrams/ Directions that I just found, even though they say the samething pretty much.

I apparently need to do this. LOL. I thought it was an option I didnt have because on my Mom's Bonneville, there is an obvious "door" that you just pop off, and bam, there is the filter. I didn't see the door on my car, so assumed I just didn't have the filter. Needless to say, I was wrong, its just more barried in the Monte!
Will be changing soon!
