My mechanic told me that this was a very laborious job and that he would charge $180 .... I'm going to change my filter and my mechanic at once ... Thank you.

OMG! I checked my cabin air filter today and found a MOUSE NEST inside!!!! It was PACKED! BTW, I am a 52 year old woman doing this because my Hyundai Dealership wanted to charge me $50 for changing the cabin air filter and the air filter located in the engine! I did it myself!

Thanks! I have directions for the engine air filter at the end of the spark plug replacement video, as that one doesn't need replacement as often. It is possible for a mouse to get in to the cabin air filter. The top part is open to the area under the plastic cowl panel under the windshield wipers. I had to have my windshield replaced and I got to look inside after they took out the glass. I could actually see the filter - probably could have pulled it out from behind if I wanted to! The air flow into the car comes in from the cowl vent panel to that filter, then thru the filter to the blower fan which is under it, and then to pass over the heater core or a/c evaporator and then out to the ducts. So that filter traps anything solid from the outside. I would imagine that it gets wet regularly because water drains down thru the cowl vent panel under the wipers, so keeping the filter too long could lead to it becoming moldy - although the material is probably treated so it lasts a while.

I'm 86 followed these instructions, start to finish less the 10 minutes........Nice presentation easy to follow, thank you

Man! This video helped me in so many ways! That small little typo in the instruction manual almost caused me to snap the clip myself. Once I noticed the clip was on the left it was smooth sailing from there. Thanks so much!

Glad you mentioned the arrow point since replacement filter pointed up and removed filter down. Yippee replaced!

Just wanted to report that I own a 2016 Tucson LHD, and the clip to open was indeed on the right side. Your instructions saved a lot of time, so thanks for the video 👍

Awesome video. I am a retired female and I replaced my filter without the help of a man! Thanks

Thanks Bruce ! Great that you pointed out the owners manual's mistake about the clip being on the wrong side of the cover.

Thank you, I've been begging my husband to change mine. I bet I won't ask again. I'm going out in my garage to change it right now!!

Excellent 👍👍👍 The Engine air filter takes about 30 seconds to replace.

I just changed mine on our 2017 Tucson, left hand drive, and ghe clip is on the right hand side. Good video and you really encouraged me to do it myself instead of taking it to a dealer. Piece of cake!

You saved me 5x what I spent last time at the dealership getting hoodwinked ($100 for filter and install vs. $20 filter at Autozone and doing it myself). I'm almost embarrased how easy and fast the replacing was. Thanks for the detailed walk-through.

$100 for a cabin filter? Nothing else? That's way overpriced. In my area I think its $39.95 with no installation fee.

You made a great video and thanks for saving me approx Aus $50.00 I had not changed the filter before and have had the car since new for 5 years, the cabin air filter may have been changed at least once before at the dealer. The only "trap for new players" was working out if my car was built in South Korea or the Czech Republic as the first filter I purchased was the Korean version and is slightly smaller by just enough to make it unuseable than the ones used in the Czech version. As we drive on the left hand side of the road our glove box is setup as a mirror image of the USA cars, the filter cover panel unclips on the right side but everything else you described was spot on, thanks again Bruce, you have earned yourself another subscriber.

Mission accomplished thanks to this clear, concise video! Thank you so much!!

Great video! I never opened the car's manual. Took 5 mins. Thank you!

Thank you very much for taking the time to do this video. I will be able to change my filter today because of your thorough instructions.

I had a 15 Mustang. It was a bear to replace it.

It can be done by removing the first 2 clips and then taking the air filter cover off. You only need to remove more if you are struggling to access.

Interesting that on your car the air filter door is open on the left. My 2017. Tucson is in the correct orientation as per your manual.

I really don't know. The blower is inside behind the dash I think. To clean the air inlet you'd probably have to remove the plastic cowl panel under the hood but I never tried that.

Is the front filter the only filter? Is there none for the centre air vents at the back?

Yeah, that's what I did....just not at first. I had never actually replaced a cabin filter located inside. I had a couple Fords with cabin filters - the older one was accessible from under the hood in between two sections of the firewall, and the newer model was under the glove box but getting to it was a major pain in the ass that i let the dealer do it. Leave it to the Koreans to design one that can be so easily removed! Interestingly, I had my windshield replaced recently on this Tucson and they had to remove the plastic cowl panel under the hood to access the base of the windshield and the cabin filter was exposed and looked like I could just pull it out from the engine compartment side! Nothing else covering it.
