Just did mine. Perhaps the most assinine design in the history of customer-accessible hatches. Changing the oil filter is a lot easier. Made me want to trade it on the spot.

I've watched a handful of videos on how to change the cabin filter and I must say, yours was the most clearly and concisely explained and demonstrated. Thanks for sharing.

We dropped an envelope with $ in it behind the glove box and had no idea how to get it out. You saved us! Thanks!

Well, I had NO idea we had cabin air filters!!! Where have I been all my life? I've NEVER changed one in all my years! 😲
I saw it on Tik Tok so I googled it to see if it was a joke! 🤣 I'm so glad I did and so glad I found you!!
I guess I'll do that tomorrow!!!
Thank you!!!

Awesome. The bottom slide pins will fall out. This is in the top five worst designs for replacement. It is a must do

[jamesdavisii]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I was able to change my filter with no problems!

Putting the white pin back is the hardest part. Maybe that’s the reason why it was not shown it this video.

Thanks for your knowledge. Clear video and lighting. I left the retractable clip hanging. It looks like the previous owner did as well. The air flow on the old one was going in the opposite direction too, lol.

Thank you for the informative video, my Duratec 35 engine did the Waterblock die so we are replacing it with a Duratec 37 (Same thing, bigger bore) figured I should do the air filters too.
