bought an '08 Xterra on the cheap. Mechanically it's in good shape but one of the main reasons it was so cheap is the interior smelled like decaying dog even after having the seats professionally cleaned. Changed these filters (soaked them with spray Febreze first) and now it smells like a freakin' ocean breeze in there. Change your filters!

The febreeze chemicals really aren't great to be directly inhaling. Better to just have clean air filters and use smaller air smell good deals

I didnt even know I had this! I bought my 2005 new and have 95k miles. My filters were equally as filthy; however, i cleaned them and reinstalled as they were in good shape with some banging and brushing. Note that the screw was put in as an option, but my plastic tab broke off, so I added the screw to hold the cover and now all is good. As a side note, I was thinking about selling my 2005 and getting a newer model. I test drove a 2014 and found it to be exactly the same but with a digital audio package. After that eye opener, I decided to invest a $2K or so to modernize and replace a few damaged parts. Thanks Ry for the motivation to restore rather than replace!

NOTE: MY 2001 IS NOT THE SAME. First off, on the 2001, you can’t pop out the glovebox like this video. You need to take the screw out on the top of the glovebox and also the screws on the dashboard and take off the panel with the glovebox in it. It’s not the same as this video. When you get the panel off you will see the blower housing and to the left you will see a box and a place that looks like two slots going vertical one among the other. At this point you think that all you have to do is remove those panels. Trust me, you can’t. They’re fake panels (Yours may not be because someone might have saved you the trouble). If you’re like me you still need to cut around the panel with a knife. Once those two tabs are cut out you can slide the new filters in. Make sure the arrows are pointing away from the blower.

Any final concensus on the direction of flow? I replaced mine (07) last year the way I found them with the arrows up. In the majority of debate on other videos is for the arrows to go up? If all the debris however sits on top of the filter, that tells me that the air flow is pulling down thru the filter... so confused :(

Sorry to bother you so much. In this video I see next to the filter you just replaced along with it a Black housing that runs all the way to the steering driver's side under the dash. The evaporator in there next to where you just installed that filter. Is there any possible way I can clean the evaporator there. I called an Air Conditioner specialist and he told me the entire system needs to be removed because "its a sealed housing and it's under the dash and needs to be removed to be able to clean the evaporator. He also said that is not worth cleaning it instead replacing it due to the extensive task and to be able to give me a warranty after the job it's performed. I can't believe that a damaged blower filter could cause such a situation. They also said the job its close to a thousand dollars. I am very frustrated. Base on your experience most likely are they telling me the truth?
