I didn't find it necessary to remove the side panel to do it. It really helps if you compress the end going in.

@RubberSideDown2 3 жыл бұрын

Not to bad. Getting it back in sucked but a tip is when you get to the last few inches that won't go in is reach the top and pull the filter down and push it in around the plastic then it'll slide in. Hope that makes sense

@michaelrowtheboat Жыл бұрын

It would be helpful to explain where your body needs to be to 'easily replace' the cabin air filter. I have to be a virtual gymnast to lay upside down over the reclined seat to see to remove the filter. Kneeling on the ground makes it hard for my back to bend that way.

Why does Nissan make it extra difficult to access the filte? On most Toyotas it's just a latch where you can open the glovebox and you'll see the air filter cover.

Great video, but what a terrible design by Nissan. I didn't remove the glove box this time, mine didn't go in as easy as in your video, really had to wad that thing up to jam it in there.

@NJPhotoTeach 2 жыл бұрын

The WORST cabin filter design, placement and retention clip I’ve ever seen! I detailed cars and have removed and installed dozens of these in many different brands in the gloveboxes and this is by far the most horrible design! When I touched the clip it just fell off meaning the techs at Nissan clearly weren’t able to re-install it correctly either last time it was replaced. Then you have to squeeze and bend the filter to get it in? 1 minute job on almost any other car, but 15 minutes of having to first watch a video to find where the filter is, then get the old filter out, install the new one and then 12 minutes trying to get the clip to install properly with no luck is ridiculous. It won’t lock in at the top part and isn’t creating a good seal for the system. Let’s see if the Nissan techs can get it… 🙄

To put the door back in, use the back panel as a support guide. I’m a fairly big guy, and a lot of this was done without seeing much. But if you try to put the door back exactly on the track, it gets difficult.

It should. Also try one of the filters with baking soda embedded in the filter. In addition, check to make sure the a/c drain is draining to the ground outside the car and not into the passenger side footwell. If the drain is plugged, mold and mildew will grow and smell foul, increasingly when a/c is on.
