This was the best instructions on changing in cabin filter, others didn't explain how to get door off where filter is located.

Thanks for putting this up. It was a breeze to replace. Definitely saved myself some money. 😊

[roywhitman]

Out of all of the videos I've watched on how to perform this service, yours is the simplest & best explained!!!👍👍 Thanks!!

[profiam]

Yup. Not more than 10 minutes. Didn’t take the dash side off (I break stuff too easily). I didn’t even know about cabin air filters, so this one is from factory, 120, 000 miles and countless dog and cat rescue transports. I really appreciated the hemostat tip. Honestly putting that last clip on took the longest, so was super thankful having the hemo on it.

I’ve watched over 10 videos & your video was the easiest one out of all. Ty

Do yourself a favor and remove the 2 white hinge pins before doing anything else so you don't break the hinges and have to buy a new glovebox.

So very well done, easy to follow, plenty of light, correct angle to show exactly what you are doing, entertaining as well. Completely agree with the mind of an engineer, they think differently and in this case it applies to automotive design engineers, software engineers, electrical engineers you name it. Thanks for the great job.
😁

Excellent video. There was enough light so I could see what you're doing

[Challenged]

Excellent Vid my man!!! Very thorough!!!

ALL horizontally mounted cabin air filters with the blower motor mounted below the filter will have downward air flow direction. Otherwise the blower motor would have dirt and debris trapped inside of it.

YouTube family, I’d advise you to slide the bottom white clips if possible. If you choose to go his way be prepared to squeeze through a narrow opening which can potentially break the bottom clip if you attempt to squeeze through. I will have to assume that Chad also disassembled it prior to videoing it.

Well, you missed the step to slide the white plastic, sliding posts on the bottom of the glove box door to the sides so you don’t break the door when pushing it down. The glove box door is meant to be totally removed. Other videos show this, don’t break the hole that the sliding post slides through, or you’ll be replacing your entire glove box door. They are not meant to be pushed down to access the cabin air filter, the entire glovebox should be removed.

Hardest part is removing the filter door. Wish you would have filmed the actual Removal. Thx anyhow

[sylbarba]

Ok, why didn't you show how to put everything back in the reverse order..the plastic pins are not that easy to reinstall back into the glove compartment

He is why I love my white cousins!!! All humans are awesome!

[charliemichelle]

Hi! I tried doing this but can’t get the cover to the filter to budge. Any advice?

[kendrenkrdbkd]

I too followed your instructions on my 2019 Explorer. After I removed the side panel and the pull wire, then the top two clips, there was no room to get my hand through the limited space. This is because the door only opens till it hits the cross bar below it. I am reluctant to take the cross bar off. Did you remove the bottom cross bar so the door would open wider? What year Explorer did you change the cabin filter in? After looking at some other videos, I think that cross bar is actually an air bag.

I have a 2014 Explorer w/v6 engine. I followed the video but when I the open the box past the stops and let it hang there's not enough room to get to the filter housing

My air filter directional arrow was originally pointed upward. Am I the only one?

[omarreyes]

Hi sorry but you didn’t show next step to take off the 2 white pin under dash in order to take off 😮have a nice day
