Installed it today, man that thing was dirty and even had a bug or two in it ... the cabin filter in my OP actually seemed better quality than what was in it (i dont know if it was OEM in it) lets see how it holds up

very easy to do.just take out your globe box.behind it is where it should go.all i did was use a knife where the filter would go and that's it. the filter will screw in place using the two holes for screws found on the each corner...

ive got to do that spray.


I just hope this filter will help me lessen the smell of the mexican who used to own the car, I cant describe the smell he left in it, Ive detailed it, shampooed it, and its still there, sort of this sweet detergent smell.

No. They are referencing what is in your dashboard on the passengers side. What you are referring to is the canister that filters the exhaust. 2 completely different things.
