@STEVEN STEVEK… Steven, I must agree with you about “…air flow is down.” One can see on the video that the debris [leaves, twigs, etc] are ON THE TOP of the cabin air filter. That debris was carried IN by a DOWN-flow of air from the outside environment. The debris could not pass through the filter, so the debris just SAT ON TOP of the filter. Therefore [it seems to me], the ARROW indicates the DIRECTION of the AIR-FLOW through the FILTER, which is FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. Full disclosure: I bought a FRAM Cabin Air Filter from ADVANCE AUTO PARTS in OKC in January 2023 for $15.29. The instructions in the box are quite detailed. Step 8 instructs one to “Install the new filter… arrow printed on the side of the filter *POINTING UP.* Clearly a *misprint.* If you have read this verbiage to its conclusion, please excuse the lack of editing. If the original creator of the video wishes to contact me, I am “Might Not Know a Thing” at bckelly [numerals one two one] at sign cox period net.
What is the name of that pillow-like thing that was attached to the inside of the glove compartment door? My mechanic had all kinds of problems doing what you just now did in about 2 minutes because he wasn't used to dealing with a damper arm/rod. He ended up just leaving the pillow-like thing on the floor, and the intake guy at my dealership today told me it was nothing and threw it away! Obviously, it's something and I have to get another one! Thanks.
It’s likely a sound dampener which quiets things down when the climate control system is running. Right behind that pillow is the blower motor which drives the cabin airflow.
Thank you I’m 70 and they want to charge me $38 for labor + the filter I think I can do this. Not that the price is too much they have overhead. But I’m gonna try 😘
Dealership said 50$ for this job. This video helped me do it for 26$ and in the future I’ll be able to do it for even less.
Nice clear and simple..plain English... thank you a guy wanted 100.00 to do this...lol. I can't believe how simple this was to do. Thanks Bud 😘
Great video. Up is up but air flow is down 👍.

Steven, I must agree with you about “…air flow is down.”

environment.
The debris could not pass through
the filter, so the debris just SAT ON TOP
of the filter.
Therefore [it seems to me], the ARROW indicates the

Thank you for the video Mike!
Exactly what I needed to know.
Thanks!
Great job. You made a simple task...simple
Thank you for sharing this.

Headsup On the micro gard 3686hp filters there is an arrow and the word up!
