For anyone that wants to know a quick answer, the arrows are supposed to be pointing down....

Good info; when I replace mine I also vacuum out the areas before putting the new ones in.

A long flat stick, like a paint stirrer, helps in pushing the first filter over and into place. Long screwdriver works too. Hands definitely don't fit.

He didn’t mention that there are arrows on the sides of the filter that help us know which side to put the filters in to direct airflow. Either way, I’ll be trying this, thank you for sharing! Good POV tutorial!

Nissan near me wants close to $100 for this...well aht aht not me!! This woman is gonna go change her air filter tah day herself!!! Thanks for the video!!

You are amazing! This has been driving my husband and I crazy for years and the cost/time it was going to take to get it fixed was ridiculous. THANK YOU!

Thank you. Back when my new 2013 Xterra went in for it's first Cabin Filter replacement, the dealership broke the tab on the door then said they wouldn't fix/replace it. ( Meaning, do I really want to take them to small claims court over this tab? ) I've had to zip tie the door shut all these years. Then when I go in for a new filter they assure me things were done right. Nope. Thanks to your video I just opened it to replace it on my own for the first time, and saw how mutilated the air filters were. They just jammed them in leaving plenty of room for leaves to gather around them. Again, thanks to you I slid my new filters in carefully so that they're still two solid rectangles that touch all edges of the interior compartment. I can't trust anyone but me to do these ever again.

Watched 3 other videos and yours was the only one that explained how to access the filter area and then mentioning that you should pinch the filter to get it started. Thanks

Nissan just loves putting things like that in a weird spot. Thanks for the video. Mine needed to be changed.

My Nissan Xterra’s cabin filters were quite nasty thank you for your helpful instructions! It made it very easy to change!! 😌

I am not handy or experienced with car stuff but this tutorial was extremely helpful and easy to follow. Thank you!

Thanks Aaron. I have a 2019 Frontier and the install was straightforward. Thanks a lot for posting this.

Good info, found the issue for low air flow you saved me lots of headaches!

Thanks so much for making this video. Didn't know it was this easy now I'm saving lots of money not going to the dealer to have it done.

Thank you for this. Mine was so bad that the lack of airflow was causing the evaporator to freeze up on long trips. All good now.

Just done, thank you for the video. Compared with an Elantra everything is a little more tricky. I was worried to break the left side of the glove compartment.

Excellent video, simple and under 5-minutes✨

Good presentation. Very helpful. Thanks. Never saw what the need for the socket tool was, though.

Thank You So Much! You made it so easy to do! (And mine needed changing desperately🤮!)

Really helpful tnx Aaron.

Thank you very much, I couldn’t find it but now I know.

This was really helpful. I have the factory service manual but the drawing in it isn't very clear. Thanks.

Great instructional. Quite helpful.

Thanks! Most helpful!

Very good explanation! Thank you!

Thank you very much for sharing, now I don’t have to pay at the dealer to do it👍👍👍

Thank you for this!

Thanks man! Just did it

Ty sir. Easy & on point.

Thank you for this video

I did mine and the tab broke. It breaks very easily. I used a twisty tie from the produce section and put it thru the hole and wrapped it around. It seems to hold the cover in place. I don't know why Nissan put a hole there without a bolt to hold the cover.

muy creativo para los qué queremos saber algo y darle mantenimiento a nuestro carro Gracias

Awesome teacher! Thanks!!

Great in service, thanks

Great video

Thanks!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! ! !

Thank you!

Thanks for info

WOW! I did not know about this.

Thank you

Good info👍🏼

thank you dad ;)

Thanks

does replacing them help with the smell?? sometimes the air that blows out smells kind of weird and i’m wondering if changing the filters is the solution!

Question will this increase air flow I noticed that when I turn it on high it doesn't get very cold on 4 ?

Wal Mart broke my tab. Can this thing be bolted in? I see a hole for one but the 10mm used in the oil filter access panel is too long for it. I need to scure it some other way.

I suspect I have a dead mouse or a nest sitting on top of the cabin filter. any way to access the top of filter before removing so I don't drop the mouse droppings/nest into the blower housing as I slide the filters out?

The local VIP Auto wanted $78.10 to do this...ridiculous!...So easy to do at home :)

Hi, do you know if this would be the same for Suzuki Equators?

air flow direction downward or up? my xterra didn't have filters so I didn't have any reference which way.

Does anyone knows of the rear system hs it's separate filter? The reason I'm asking is because recently the main front system stopped working and the reason was the the both filters behind the glove compartments were litteraly completely clogged by dirt and debres. This made blower motor work so hard the it blew two 15A fuses under the hood. So now I'm thinking from where the rear system takes air?

Does the air flow arrow point down to the floor ?

Didn’t you mention a 5/16 or 8 mm socket? Just wondering,thanks for the video

Does anyone knows is there is separate air fileter for the REAR SYSTEM? The reason I'm asking is because recently my front system stopped working and the reason was that the two filters behind the glove compartments were litteraly completely clogged with all kind of debree. That made blower motor to fail and trigger two 15A fuses to burn under the hood. So I know there was no way that rear motor was using the same filters.

Can this cause a check engine light to come on?

I snapped my tab, any remedies? I duct taped it. 😑

Is there a arrow on them ?. Letting you know how to put them in for airflow?

Ques. I both my 2005 Xterra from the dealer in 2005 new. I didn't know there is air filter to be replaced. Anyway today I got the filter to change it what I see there were no filters. Last 14 years 160k miles I drow without filters. İs it normal new Xterras comes without filters...

Don't the new ones need to be installed with the air flow arrow pointing in the same position as the old ones, no one seems to mention this

I read these filters are the cause of the ac resistor constantly burning out.

My Nissan Frontier has 216,000 miles and I've never even heard about cabin filters. I'm doing mine tomorrow. Can't imagine how gross they must be.

I always spray lysol down there before I put the new filter in the box

Thank's for the video. There were no filters inside when I opened the cover. That's probably why the heat hasn't been working well at idle. Is there supposed to be some kind of holder to retain the filters? Looking inside it's just an open cavity. I feel like the filters would just fall in there without some kind of guidance. It was dark and snowing out so I'll have to take it inside to get a better look, any advise on whats supposed to be in there would be appreciated. I feel like something is missing which is why there were no filters

Just bought a 2019 frontier and having dash noises like really bad rattles and when I turn the corner it sounds like a ball is rolling from side to side. Any ideas? Only have 70 miles on it and it comes from the passenger side near the window. Just curious if you had a problem like this?

What is the air flow bottom to top or top to bottom

The arrow of the filter is supposed to go up or down

You didn't mention the arrow showing which way the air flow is.

Which direction do the filters go on

what type/brand of filters does a nissan Xterra take?

Broke the fuck out of that tab lmao

Dealership labor is at 105.00 bucks an hour, they also want twice the cost for the filters. Do it yourself😀

Opened mine up and there aren't even any filters in it🤣 Not to get some, I was just going to clean them TBH but now I need to drop some $ into it.

Great video but I can't find model/number of the filters, anybody?

Did mine for the first time.... Found out when I bought it last year they just decided not to put one in! LoL

I actually broke the clips the first time I did it

He said careful not to break it as i broke it

Changed mine & now when I turn the air on high it vibrates really bad lol

I broke the plastic tab 😅

I have a 2012 xterra and i just checked the cabin filters. And yours look brand new compared to mine. I bet a pound of crap came out of my filters. Those filters have not been changed in YEARS. And on the subject what the hell was nissan thinking? What a stupid design. Total pain in the @$$ to remove and re install filters. One of those stand on your head, use 1 hand only and feel your way cuz u sure as hell cant see what your doing. And whoever took the cover off before me broke the flimsy @$$ little tab. What a JOKE! thank you nissan!

You didn't show which way the air flow arrows are supposed to face..

Dealer ship charing me 80 for this

Grrr. Only in a small frame do I see aim down? You didn’t say which way it goes. 😢

Will this make it blow out cold air

Most ridiculous design ever need to send engineers to subaru or Toyota for training class

Welp, I finally found something to hate about my Nissan Frontier. I love everything else about it but this design is absolutely braindead. I can't get the new ones in there without feeling like I've squashed at least one of them and there's a giant gap inside and it's impossible to confirm this. Honestly, my damn Kia had a better cabin air filter than this and that was the ONLY thing I liked about owning that vehicle.

No direction with air flow? The replacement is not as easy as your video shows.

And dealer wants to charge over $150 for this !!!

Some foul beast put a zip tie on the filter cover of my xterra. 😡

Clean your car.

Bull $$$$ looks nothing at all like a frontier

That is really a terrible design.

Just reminded me why I’ll never buy a used vehicle. Yuck!

Way to go ding dong why don't you tell people which way the arrow goes for airflow

Thank you for this video

Thank you
