#27 of 56 Cabin Filter by tothemaxx2 Sep 13, 2006 (4:54 pm)
As mentioned in earlier posts, I checked out the vent box behind the glove box. There certainly is a place for a cabin filter. A narrow door opens and a 10"x8.5"x1" filter will fit exactly. It is obviously made for a replaceable filter. Rather than cut a paper filter, I bought a high efficiency electrostatic home filter. They are made to be adjustable, though not down to the size needed for the Maxx. However, I cut it to fit and now have a perfect fitting filter with a complete perimeter fram. Works like a charm and fits like it was made for it.   Does anyone know what car the vent box was originally for? I figure it may have been taken from Saab, as was the Malibu chasis/frame.

#28 of 56 UltraLux Interior Care by kansasron Nov 08, 2006 (2:29 pm)
Going to pick up my 2006 Maxx LTZ Friday. I wanted to find out your experience with the UltraLux seating. Does it resist dirt well? Have you put any stain guard (Scotchguard?) on it?

Replying to: tothemaxx2 (Sep 13, 2006 4:54 pm) The design came from Opel as the Maxx sells as the Opel/Vaxhaul Signum in Europe. You can get a cabin air filter in the Opel version, so I'm assuming the design came from there and some bean counter removed the filter to save 24 cents per car in the US market. I'll have to try your filter option as I have some extra home filters of the type you mentioned and will try cutting one down to fit. I assume the door you mention is the one with a black insert type tab holding it in place?
#30 of 56 Use a Saturn ION cabin filter by kurtamaxxxguy Nov 09, 2006 (11:53 am)
these will fit nicely in the Maxx's cabin air filter chamber and do a good job keeping dust out.   You can also add a small piece of WEB filter mesh (plastic mesh with 1" holes) under the filter if you are worried about it possibly being sucked into the HVAC fan.

Replying to: tsc401 (Dec 29, 2006 6:21 pm) Lever is on outside of the seat at junction of bottom and back. It's the same part that reclines the seat back.
#33 of 56 Back seat lever by tsc401 Dec 30, 2006 (11:00 am)
Apparently my Maxx didnt come with levers, instead there is just a bult stick out at eaxh end, which means i have to use plyers everytime i want to put the seats down or back. Anyone know the parts number of the lever? or where i can buy one, cheap?

Replying to: tsc401 (Dec 30, 2006 11:00 am) Weird, are you the first owner? You would need to provide a few specifics like model year and interior color (Titanium, Ebony, Gray or Neutral) to give you correct part number. I guess you are missing ones for both left and right side? Worst case is they would run $15-20 each retail from a dealer.   Provide back model year and interior color and I can give you some suggested part numbers. It looks like there was a design change for 2006 model at some point as well after ...6F286778 there was a new design. So look at your VIN if you have a 2006 Replies to this message: kurtamaxxxguy (Dec 31, 2006 9:48 am) tsc401 (Dec 31, 2006 10:06 pm) e2helper (Jan 01, 2007 11:50 am)

Replying to: e2helper (Dec 30, 2006 1:50 pm) You may also experience a rattle or two for some rear seatback positions, as the clearance between the right rear shocktower and right rear plastic seatback is very limited. You can fix that by "padding" the shocktower, or simply don't put the seats in positions where the seatback and tower vibrate against each other.   This is true for my '04 Maxx, and I have seen similar clearance problems in newer ones.
