My 2004 Bonne SLE had no cabin filter, from what I could find out it was a dealer-installed option. I picked up a Wix cabin filter with frame off of Amazon for about $12.50. I had to loosen the cowl trim in order to install the filter/frame combination, I've seen pictures of a cabin filter in the housing without the frame, think that is worthless as the filter will not seal properly without the frame.
2004 Bonneville SLE, comfort & economy in a large sedan; original owner of a 208k mile 71 SS350 Chevelle, 4-speed, 3.31 12 bolt, not so economical, but a blast to drive.

The cabin air filter is not a dealer installed option. It includes an access panel in the cowl wind screen with 2 tabs to release it, as well as features in the cowl to guide the filter assembly and hold it in place. There is no way these features are dealer installed.

If you have the access panel, you have the cabin air filter as an OEM option.

For 2003, I do know that the cowl had the access panel, but when I went to check the filter after 6 months, there was no filter and not support skeleton for same.
I asked the service manager who suggested I buy a filter and skeleton at the parts counter and they snapped it in for me.
I use the Purolator replacement filters which work fine--and they are MADE IN THE USA unlike all of the others I could find.
