Thanks dude! Saved me 15 minutes of lying upside down in my floorboard trying to find new ways to break plastic trim panels and taking off stuff that doesn't need to come out.
Mechanic was asking $55 for it when i went for oil change, asked him to wait, saw this video and went back to him to put the old one back! got filter from amazon under $10 , still saved $45 for 5 mins labor. Thanks!
Many basic repair or replacement parts are on top of the engine block. If you spend a few minutes reading over the maintenance manuel you will save a few bucks in the long run.
Good job. People tend to limit themselves to he does all that or she always takes care of that. Sometimes we end up on our own or like you said your partner is busy. Great to have a variety of skills. Saves money and builds confidence.
Definitely buy the filter, saves lots of money. Also be careful because the filter cover has fragile pieces of plastic at the top and bottom. I went to replace my internal air filter for the first time on my own and noticed that one of the plastic pieces that holds the cover in place was already broken previously.
Excellent tutorial. If only other parts were as easy to replace on Jeeps. You may need the ASE approved 2 ft stick to prop the glove box bottom cover out of the way.
Thanks for that! I don't understand why my manual (2016 Cherokee TH) only mentions the cabin filter when it is time to replace it but makes no mention of where it even is. You just saved me probably $100 minimum!
The dealership wanted $275 for an air filter and compartment filter change. I paid $43 total at auto zone and I changed them both myself. Your video was easy to follow and did it in 5 mins. Thank You!
Thanks for the video. The Jeep dealership was going to charge me 46.45 for the filter and 25.00 labor. I went to O'Reilly and paid 11.99 plus tax and it took me 5 minutes.
The cover is a long rectangle, but there are these two side tabs one on each side. I drilled a 5/32” hole through both tabs, dead center and threaded a #14 x 3/4” wood screw through it. Then I just used a short handled Phillips screw driver to drive it into the respective hole that is behind the tabs on the filter housing. Airtight and cheap.
What a video, thank you, can you give me one favor what’s the name of the plastic panel that you remove to get access to the cabin filter ac can you write me the part number thanks
Would this stop water coming into the car when it rains in your jeep. Water only comes in on the passenger side. Someone said that this is the problem.
Looked strange: when he pulled it out, all the dirt/debris brown crap was on the inside of the filter. Seems like the brown debris would be on the other (intake) side.
Wow ok, so I decided to look at this video just cuz I was curious of the location...... Here's a little tip. When removing the outer cover, DO NOT do it in the order of this video, do it in the opposite order. The three spring clips are meant to be separated first before you remove the back side. Start with the bottom one and work your way up. Then when all three are released pull the panel towards the rear of the vehicle to release the tab from its housing......Unless your car is on the newer side If you go pulling on the back end where that giant tab is you're going to snap it right off. That tab is not meant to be bent but the spring clips are made to release......Also when installing the new filter the easiest way to fit it in is to pinch the filter in the center kind of making it look like a bow tie, and then you can guide the top and bottom in and let go and slide the rest of it in....... Pinching it in the center also keeps the folds aligned properly while you're putting it in............Hmmmm, maybe I should just make my own tutorial video. 🤷🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣
Depends on a combination of your annual mileage, regional pollution, pollen and so forth, especially if anybody that is regularly in the vehicle has allergies to ragweed, goldenrod or whatever. On my last 4 vehicles, I’ve done the cabin air filter once a year as part of my annual checklist when I winterize around Halloween.
Probably because it was way overdue is the reason for this. Too much moisture buildup that wouldn't normally be an issue of it were changed out on time. Definitely keep up with your replacements as this can't be good for her health!
For anything plastic in a vehicle, I would suggest carefully. I know it doesn't help after-the-fact here (hopefully for someone else reading this), but this goes for most anything plastic in a vehicle. Especially if they involve things like tabs. Always try to take it slow and steady, and not force it. Especially anything plastic in the engine compartment which tends to become more brittle as it is exposed to heat. I've done this same cabin filter job on my 2015 TH, and I bent the top tab you/clip but luckily it didn't break and I was able to bend it back. I think the instructions in this video should have more clear advice about this. If you don't want to replace the entire cover, you may want to try something like an "abs plastic repair resin" to reattach the broken piece. Because of the type of plastic, I particularly recommend a proper "abs plastic repair resin" over any type of standard "super glue". You should be able to get it easily as a local hardware store, as it is commonly used to fuse ABS pipes in plumbing installations, etc.
There you go! Easy tutorial. No long intros. Straight to the point.
Thanks man!
Thank You For Watching!
Thanks for this simple DIY. Just followed and had mine changed in about 10 minutes. If this 66 yr old woman can do it, so can anyone!!
AWESOME!
Thanks dude! Saved me 15 minutes of lying upside down in my floorboard trying to find new ways to break plastic trim panels and taking off stuff that doesn't need to come out.
Best filter video so far for this cherokee on RUclips. Your video perspective and verbal play by play is No # 1 so far. Thx for your help.
Perfect video for my 2018 Jeep Cherokee. Bought a new air filter online for about $11, replaced it myself, no issue. Thank you!!

Didn’t want to pay someone for something I can do myself. Great video, thank you
I always rely on my husband for this stuff, but he is so busy I decided to do it myself. This video was short and easy to follow! Thank you!

Great video! Thanks for the start to finish install! Great to see it done without any breaks so you know it’s not deceptively difficult!
Thanks man for the post. I found the cabin filter cover in my car when I bought it used. Now I know where it goes.

Thought you did a great job in the new Jurassic Park movie. Nice tutorial!
This video was very helpful. I changed our cabin filter in about 15 minutes based on this video. Thanks.
Thanks this is way better than paying someone else to do it. Appreciate the help!
Big help thanks! I went too fast on the bottom clip and broke it, but everything else was smooth! Thanks.
Same.
Me too 😔
Thanks for the vid! Saved me nearly 100 bucks at the dealer

Thank you, Hughes Garage!! I'm thankful for this video! Next, I have to do my brakes. Wish me luck!! 😅
Good luck!!
Greatly appreciate the video. Just changed mind, follow exactly as you described, was spot on and easy, that filter was filthy after 60K miles 🤙
Happy to help. Thank you!!
Thanks so much. Took a second to figure out the thin cover strip but this was very helpful and easy to follow.
Great video. Solved our issue in moments not hours. Thank you sir!

Thank you for posting this, easy to follow and I will get after mine in just a few minutes.
Excellent, video. Best one I’ve seen! TY
Why is all the dirt on the seat side / destination of airflow? Dirt should be on the incoming side of airflow.
thanks! easy to follow instructions. Much appreciated.

Thanks! Helped a lot

Happy to help you save $$$
Very good explanation. I just changed mine using your vid. Can you show us how to change engine air filter on the cherokee thanks
Very well explained and simple!
Simple. Thanks!
Make sure to like this guy's video to help his channel if you found this useful.
Thank you!
Thanks very much, just did just this after watching.
Great video i like how you explained everything i am about to go change mine 👍🏻
This is easier than replacing a Camry cabin filter. With the Jeep I have a bit more head room to play with.
Excellent, thanks for sharing this..!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Short and easy. Thanks a lot.

Great video. Changing mine now ✌🏻
Happy to help!
Thank you! My repair information said to remove the console closeout. Ya, okay.
Thanks dude, it went very smooth!
The dude makes it looks easy. Be careful I snapped my bottom clip.
Same😂
Snapped my bottom and top clip 🙃 Crazy flimsy little pieces of garbage plastic. Seems to still stay in place but not "locked" like it was before
@@DJangles still works for me. Has not fallen off.
@@MrBryand477 That's good to hear. I'm hoping mine doesn't get jostled loose when off road. The plastic strip fits pretty tight

Thanks honestly looked this up because it’s not in a traditional area and didn’t wanna rip up the customers car to find it
Thanks for this video! Helped me save a trip to jiffy lube
Happy to help!
you doing the kick panel backwards pull the tab part out then it falls out either way works though
So fire thanks buddy
Nice work. Thank You !!
Thanks please subscribe!
@@HughesGarage Done !!
Great! Removes the “mystery”!
Thanks so much. The 2019 is replaced the same way
Broke both the bottom and top clips LOL. Definitely a delicate job and not one you want to do on a cold day
Oh no!
Thanks for your help
Nice. Will this help remove odors?
@@mountainstream8351 yes it can help if the old one is real dirty.
@@HughesGarage Great! Thanks.
Would this stop water coming into the car when it rains in your jeep. Water only comes in on the passenger side. Someone said that this is the problem.
Very helpful. Thanks!
Would removing the filter here allow me to access the condenser to potentially use a spray foam cleaner?
No it's further away to far to reach
Looked strange: when he pulled it out, all the dirt/debris brown crap was on the inside of the filter. Seems like the brown debris would be on the other (intake) side.
Yeah, the original filter probably had charcoal in its material. The EPAuto brand has that.
I thought the same thing
Awesome video. Thanks !
Thank you! Big help!

@@210nThaMiX thanks I do my best!
Dumb question but if this is done incorrectly would it cause a rattle sound
I suppose it could if you broke a clip.
Thank you for the video.
Thank you so much!!
I'm struggling to figure out if the k&n 33-5009 air filter you provided a link for is a cabin filter or air intake filter???
This was great! Thank you so very much.
Thank you!!

How often does it need replacement? Every six months? Once a year?
Depends on a combination of your annual mileage, regional pollution, pollen and so forth, especially if anybody that is regularly in the vehicle has allergies to ragweed, goldenrod or whatever.
On my last 4 vehicles, I’ve done the cabin air filter once a year as part of my annual checklist when I winterize around Halloween.
15k miles maybe less if you have a lot of idle time.
Air flow reversed?
Thank you!!
2015 is in the glove box
My girlfriend's filter had quit a bit of black mold on it. That's concerning. Anyone else find mold? It was way overdue but still.
Probably because it was way overdue is the reason for this. Too much moisture buildup that wouldn't normally be an issue of it were changed out on time. Definitely keep up with your replacements as this can't be good for her health!
Thanks boss
Don't do the bottom clip first! Only do the top clip first. High chance. To break a. Clip that is part of the hvac housing! Fox is a. Pain
Are those expensive carbon ones worth it?
Great video. Thank you sir
Doubt it just get the cheapo
Still the same up to '21. Jeep house wanted to charge my wife $200🤯 nyet nada no way.
$200 no way! Happy I could save you some cash!
How often should it be changed out?
Every 15k miles.
👍🏼
I broke the top clip on the retaining door, you didn't;t explain how to detach it :-(

I did too 🙄
It's cheap.... I apologize please be CAREFUL
no worries bro, not the first thing I ever broke 😂
Heard that!😂
You said 2014-2018 but on your channel it says 2014-2021.
Yep because that's the last year of the model
😍👍🙏👏
HAPPY TO HELP!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
This doesn’t appear to be the same as my 2014.
If the air flow is IN the cabin why was the dirty side on the cabin side?????? COME ON NOW TRUTH!!!!!!
Honestly I have no clue 🤣
Description says to a 2021 jeep so because of the false description I disliked the video. Let me know if it was misspoken so I can change it.
It works for a 2021
a mechanic will charge you $50 just to change it! the filter cost is $20
that’s the point do it urself it’s only 20$
thanks man great stuff
Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Thx!!
Thanks buddy
