Cabin Air Filter Replacement Nissan Leaf | How-To

- In today's video, I change the cabin air filter in my 2015 Nissan Leaf SL. The replacement air filter was a recommendation to a problem I've been having with fogging windows.
UPDATE: Since doing the cabin air filter replacement in this video, I have noticed a considerable improvement to my foggy window situation. And this, despite, actually not doing the cleaning I mention in the video yet. Going to tackle that next and see if I can get it even better.

* When I bought mine, I paid $17 CAD...as of this posting, it looks like they have gone up to $38. However, this one below is currently listed at $13 and should also work just fine.

Thanks for the video bro. You saved me lots of extra steps, like not having to take out the glovebox like some of the other videos I've seen here had mentioned. Took me all of 10 minutes to complete!
Glad it helped. Thanks for the feedback.
True! I'm glad I watched this video. More easy and simple this way.
Worked on a 2016 Leaf. Filter cover is hard to reach below glove box and beyond side panel but video shows that side panel is not removed. Great! Video clearly also shows orientation of filter cover because when mine popped out the orientation was not clear. Also shown is that end of filter needs to be squeezed to fit into slot, then expands inside. Very nice video, thank you.
Thanks for the feedback (and for watching in the first place) appreciate it
I just paid 50 dollars to get mine replaced. I’m doing this next time. Thank you!
Happy to help. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the step by step video. No need to remove glove compartment. Such a kooky set up for the filter. The Canadian Tire replacement part has thicker pleats. You need to do some neck and shoulder stretching first or hire a contortionist. Very hard to reach in to get to the filter tabs and filter. Very much appreciate the detail.
I can’t believe the Nissan dealership wanted to charge me $200 to do that. Thanks for the video!
You can send me half 🤣... Just kidding. Yeah, super easy, glad I could help.
Nice job. They wanted $70 to replace it for my wife's 2015 Nissan Leaf SL. Your video was super helpful. The slot that the filter is in is WAY further forward than you think even after watching Derek's video. He is right, the tab end is at the bottom and the notched end fits at the top. Wow, crazy that he would design it this way--clearly not for the people who do the maintenance. The pressure taps and first cover came off easily. I put mine in the same way as the one that was in there--so the arrow was pointing toward the cabin compartment. I hope that was right. I reviewed your video again and you did say that the arrow faced the cabin so mine went in correctly.
Glad it helped....that's actually one of the lower costs I've heard to replace the cabin air filter by a dealership. Either way, glad to have saved you some dough.
Thanks for the tips, you just saved me 100 bucks at the dealer
Music to my ears... Happy to help
You made it so obvious! Works for 2014 Leaf! Thank you very much.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
Crazy place to put the filter but you handled it like a pro. I have a 2018. Probably never been changed. Going to give it a try.
Thanks for watching, hope it goes well for you. Let me know if it's the same on your model
@@derekthorntonI also have a 2018 and it’s in that same place. 2018 and 2019 are in the same generation so that makes sense.
Dude, thanks so much! Works on my 2019 leaf!
Happy to hear it, thank you for watching
Thank u , I saved two hundred bucks .....
Wow, that's a pricey dealer rate!
Worked for my 2014 Leaf S, this probably works for all models up through 2016.
Awesome, happy to help.
i changed mine every year for the past 11yrs but every year i forgot how to do it, thanks
Sounds like something I would do :)
Loved how direct and used pointers in video
Glad I could help... Thanks for watching :)
The old one looks really black. But it can be just because it's carbon filter, not because of the mud.
I just changed my filter, thank you so much!
Thank you. That was very informative. My service is complete.
Awesome, thanks for watching
Derek, with the way your windshield looked, I have to ask if it's more prone to fogging in the summer or hot weather ? I swear it looked as if you had condensation from somewhere. I'd first check the drain for the A/C (underhood) to see if it was clogged and holding moisture in the air box. Then when it gets hot, it evaporates and collects on the windshield. Just a thought brother...
Appreciate you taking the time to write and for the thought. The day I shot this video was much colder than it looks (about 5 degrees Celsius), so don't think it is heat related. It happened pretty consistently prior to changing the air filter. Hasn't done it since. Not saying that will solve 100% of fogging windshields, but it's a good place to start :)
I may try this today.
Let me know how it goes for you. Thanks for watching
Excellent video, easy to understand. Thanks
Thanks for watching, I really appreciate the support
Thank you!! Just got one and need to do this!! Then time for the fun mods hahaha
Awesome. What do you have planned for mods?
@@derekthornton well my channel and life really is all about Epilepsy Awareness so I want to add a lot of purple 💜 might start with purple wheels 👀
Good video. Check n clear the drains around windscreen. Also check strut mounts and rubbers the water sits in the strut mounts. Cover with rubber glove or plastic cap.
Great advice, thanks. Those are on my list :)
Got the caps from ebay. They were made for Golfs.
I've also seen people use Tupperware lids :)
wow need to check mine :)
Now that you know how easy it is, definitely :)

That's awesome, glad it helped. Thanks for watching.

You're very welcome, thanks for watching
Thank you
Thanks for watching
Good deal, thanks, brother!
Happy to help, thanks for watching
2013 here!
@@derekthornton I just finished, thanks to you!
Awesome, easy peasy?
You didn't say enough about the direction of airflow. It's not obvious which way the air flows in the air box.
The airflow goes into the cabin. So point the arrow on the filter towards the interior
Just beware! I hate the design of this.
It needs the air filter being compressed to get in the hole, and we have no idea if the air filter was fully expanded inside.
My previous air filter was not definitely folded inside and I guess the air just bypassed the filter and went straight from outside to inside the cabin for last 2 years!
I agree. A slide in/out filter would be more ideal. However, I was not consulted on the design process at all :)
Thank you!!!
You're welcome! Glad it helped
Nice!
Thanks for watching
Filter is absurdly, cruelly inaccessible. Much more difficult than two previous cars I've owned. Took me more like 30 minutes, but success in the end. Never could have changed it without this video, so thank you.
Next time will be easier, I promise. But glad this helped, thank you for watching
2:22 “if you pull the one at the bottom, it’ll pop right out” Not in my car it doesn’t!!
