Put everything back together now there is a bit of a gap when the glovebox is closed, has this happened to anyone else? Going to take it apart are make sure tabs are correct.
Great video. HOWEVER, the step at 5:54 gave me a LOT of trouble. I found using the plastic pry tool to separate the clips along the bottom edge (you can see the 3 receiving slots below orange and white wires at 6:10) helped a lot. AND when you put it back together, MAKE SURE the rubber grommet on the back fits into the bare metal bracket to the left of filter box and right of the big white sticker. Otherwise your glove compartment door won't close properly. Hope this helps someone else!
I just changed my cabin filter using this video as a guide. I was really surprised how much force it took to pull that plastic cover off. I was afraid I was going to break the plastic. I just don't understand why Ford would make it so tough to get off. I really appreciate the video. If I hadn't watched it, I wouldn't have had the confidence.
This should be way enough for my daughter or grandma to fix. They shouldn't have made it that complicated. Easy for me but too many steps for the Average person. Smh
Thanks! Some of those little white clips came off - hardest part was getting one that fell somewhere behind the glovebox. Lol. Thanks for the video. Gave me the confidence to buy a filter, a trim removal kit and do it. The $7 trim removal kit is useful for other things too - like cleaning along where the windows slide down into the doors, tucking some charging cables into the dash, etc. I also found that my Ford dealership’s last service broke one of the cabin air filter cover’s side locking tabs, and they didn’t put the cover’s bottom tabs into those little receiver slots to make it air tight. So - I used a tie wrap to secure the side with the broken locking tab, and put it all back how it should be. It definitely runs a little quieter now - with it all sealed up, and a new clean filter that’s letting air pass with less effort. Again thanks for the video!!
No wonder why the book says to see your dealer! In my wife's Lexus, you just drop the glove box out by squeezing and then unsnap the filter cover to remove. Leave it to US manufacturers to make things more difficult than need be!
dude.. do you like the sound of your own voice? Dear god... The first two minutes is just a waste of time, then you turn a 3 minute video into almost 9 minutes of running your yapper.
