How to replace the cabin filter in a Nissan Leaf (24kWh, 30kWh, 40kWh or 62kWh models)

In this video, I show you how to replace a cabin or pollen filter in a Nissan Leaf 40kWh. However, the same applies to all Nissan Leafs, including the 24kWh, 30kWh and 59kWh models. The replacement cabin filter cover is part no. 27276-1FC0A.

First video to mention airflow arrow direction. Excellent!!

Great tutorial thank you. For anyone watching on the other side of the Atlantic/Chunnel, aka left-hand drive, the clip that likes to break goes on the bottom rather than the top. Everything else is mirror image.

The old filters on all of these videos all seem to show a rather creased filter such that one wonders how well they are fitting when installed. Thanks for the guidance for a right hand drive car.

Thanks just done mine - was utterly filthy and looks like an original that's never been changed despite having a main dealer service every year!

[EricDennison]

When my dealer service rep tells me "he checked the filter and it's dusty" I am 99% certain he's lying because there is no way someone would go to that much trouble just to look at the filter.

Not the easiest thing to do but it can be done. After removing the eight screws from the glove box it still wouldn't come out. I found two screws on the inside of the glove box on the top. Once I remove those two screws the glove box came out. I have a 2018 leaf that makes any difference. I had 10 screws.

Thanks. I changed my ZE1 Leaf cabin filter. Removing the glove box definitely makes it much easier. Wouldn’t have wanted to try through only that tiny access hole 😅

Mine was unbroken (until I got to it, at least!) and the filter was unsurprisingly filthy. I figured you were supposed to squeeze the sprung clip to release it (I had to use long angled pliers to get around the AC lines), but I wonder if the proper technique is to push the whole cover toward the spring clip end to release the breaky tab first, then swing it out around the spring clip.

Great video and good tips, many thanks

I agree with the struggles with the filter... The plastic cover came off undamaged using a coin to the side of the upper

Belting video, thank you. My filter looked just like yours, are they that light brown colour on the intake side when new? Reason I ask is that it is (supposedly) new following a service 3 days ago.

I may not be seeing it right, but it appears the broken end (longer tab) is positioned towards the top in your car. In my 2018, which I just did the replacement myself, the longer tab is towards the bottom. Is it possible you may have pushed the cover in upside-down and that was the reason the tab broke off?

Hello Matt.
Quick question for you on this ..
Even tho that car had a Nissan Filter when you are replacing the filter what one is better Borg & Beck or Crosland ? i am genuinely interested.

This filter brings a lot of anger in me. Nice car....but filter...what were they thinking whoever designed this...glove box could've been smaller....normal usable size.

They did not make that easy to do huh:)
