I found i needed needle nose pliers to squeeze on the knob. And I did what you said .. I pushed outward on the tabs until I heard them snap!!!! Thank ALOT!!!😂 I
Finally a cabin filter that you dont have to use tools. Several of my former vehicles, and my current vehicles are a bit of a struggle to change out cabin filters. I've always figured the manufacturer wanted these change outs to be done at the dealer, to make easy money.
Appreciate you for taking the time to post this video. I have Ford points to take care of my oil change, but the local dealership asked me if I wanted my engine air filter and/or cabin filter changed. They quoted $69.95 and $89.95 respectively. Filters cost $10-20 online, so as you suggested, I said "No Thanks."
Thanks for the great video. I had the right clip break immediately and it might be because it was freezing temp when i decided to change the cabin air filter, however, the holes in the front of the door next to the clips are so you can install screws that will secure the door if and when these cheap plastic clips break! 🇺🇲✌️
Dang! Yeah, I wonder if the plastic was just frozen up. But you are right...its a hidden spot, so plenty of options to work with to get it secured again haha
You're welcome! Our other vehicle is a model 3, I haven't even looked into the process of replacing that filter. I guess im not looking forward to that one! lol
Great tutorial and an easy filter to change. My Ford CMax is in the central stack area and you have to be on the passenger floor area to change it. Great looking artwork on your arms by the way!
Don't have one, but good to know. I do have a2006 subaru sti with a cabin air filter which I change myself. Dealer wants 1 hour labor plus parts. Labor rates in my area are $150 per hour
OK, wow... Thanks for this video. I just checked; the filter alone is only between $20-$30. It only took you a few minutes to change it. So where are the dealers getting the extra $250 charge from?!
@@christopher6549 I mostly agree with you, but I do know of at least one Ford dealer near me who would (really try to) take advantage of a major up-charge for any repair. I've walked away from that dealer, won't go back there for anything, major or minor. But you make a good point about the higher prices for the parts themselves.
Depending on where you drive, every 15,000 - 30,000 miles. I live in CA, if we go through a real smoky wild fire season, or if I have been in some real dusty environments, I will try and make sure I change at 15k. On the other hand, a lot of people never change theirs until they smell musty odor or the airflow through their vehicle's heating/cooling system is noisy or weak.
I have the 2.0 ecoboost now. Previously had the hybrid, but sold it for the faster awd option. Hopefully upgrading to the TREMOR next. Although if you are asking if this same process works on the hybrid, the answer is yes.
