I watched 4 or 5 other videos before I found this one - and thank goodness I did. This one was much more complete . I would never have figured out the thing about the carpet snap on my own. Plus, seeing how he laid on his back was key to getting the cover back in place. I'm 70 and this just saved me about $40. Thanks.

I just bought a used 2009 Murano and I'm starting to hate it more and more. I do my own repairs and I've had to replace spark plugs, alternator, and I just watched this video so I could replace the cabin air filter. Great video. Now do one to teach an automotive engineer how to design a car. Why in the world would you put the cabin air filter there and design the filter so that you would probably damage it while installing it?
Not a Nissan engineer but I can tell you that our intention is to design cars 100% repairable. All of my peers are car guys and want to make the most robust, repairable product. if you want to look for a bad guy choose the bean counters, Finance guys, project managers. These individuals make sure our concepts get watered down into cheap, non modular designs like you see on this Murano filter.
I just replaced mine on a 2012 Murano; whew! Thank you for your video. It was a chore, but extremely helpful. The hardest part was getting the new filter in. I hope it's in there ok.
It was a pain to change it. No room for my fingers to pull out old filter. But the video helped a lot by telling me to fold the old filter out to remove it.
My goodness, what were their engineers thinking when they designed this? First of all, I'm so mad about their CVT tranny, yep, I was just about to change the step motor (after visiting 3 mechanics and they all told me to replace the whole tranny) but I just thought I will replace the cabin air filter filter first, shouldn't take too long but gosh, it took me 30mins and killer my back. Anyway, thanks for the very detailed instruction, I would never think that the cabin air filter would be down in there
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. I just changed the cabin filter myself. Took out the glove box so I could see what I was doing though. I own a Nissan Murano.
I just did this today, Nissan engineers should be Shammed for such a bad design. My new filter has pretty stiff sides and I don't like not knowing if the filter fully expanded.
Finance directors, project managers, Bean counters are the ones to blame. We can design a very robust and repair friendly product but money always wins and the cheapest design is the one that goes into production.
I have a 09 and have never changed the filter. I know it needs to be done but I can’t crawl under dash boards anymore. Why Nissan put it there is anybody’s guess. My Maxima’s in behind the glove box. 15 minute change. Thanks for the video.
OMG. What are their engineer thinking? I live my Lexus more now. It's so easy on the Lexus but Nissan? It's a joke. But thanks for the vdo. Otherwise, I wouldn't never can do this.
Mine was wet according to my mechanic. Have been having the odor of what seems like washer fluid. He couldn't tell if that's what it was wet with. After replace I still get the smell so I will try to pull it out and check it. Weird thing is my fluid is never empty so it doesn't seem to be a leak.
I have 2018, and this is the shittest place to have a stupid filter. So hard to replace and the lever snapped & broke. Accord has it behind the glove box in a nice case

Now imagine doing this everyday in a shop. I hate these things so much

almost had my car ripped apart by an oil tech cuz they didn't want to spend 5 mins watching a video like yours. so thank you
doing this step right now thanks! The owner of the car I am helping is learning a lot about their vehicle very fast.
THANKS!!! I’ve been putting this off for months
The person who designed this filter set up should be tortured for eternity.
That is the most complicated air filter 😟😨
Seems overly troublesome to change such a simple and routine item.
I know it could be worse though!!!!
Great video! Thank You
This was very helpful - thank you!

It doesn’t look that tough but from what I can see it looks like you don’t have to take the panel off, so you can skip that step.

I was able to change without removing the panel. If you get down there and look the filter is just past the panel
