Aftermarket Cabin Air Filters Are Not Fitting

[4xe]

Tried both STP and Purolator and they were both off fyi.
Will give the dealer a visit Monday and hopefully they will have a Mopar in stock.
FYI, pain in the ass to get the the filter compared to Toyota.

Is it behind the glove box ?

Mopar has 2 different part numbers for the 2021 GCL and the older WK2 GC's, while Autozone lists the same P/N for the STP cabin filter. They havent updated their catalog ccorrectly yet....So you probably have a filter for the WK2 GC...

I looked it up myself at Advanced Automotive and Autozone for the "L" and got the correct part based on the catalog etc... but neither fit. Wound up goin g with the dealer and Mopar. 38.15 plus tax (ouch)

Yes but it's a pain in the ass! (compaired to Toyota)
You have to take the entire glove compartment out of the vehicle in order to get to the filter.

Best video I can find that shows how to change the cabin air filter:

Takes about a minute to drop the glove box & remove the filter.

Well apparently every manufacturer except Toyota puts it behind the glovebox. It should be very little effort to remove the glovebox.

It's very simple.

Yes Jake it could be simple if the clip wasn't jammed up. With my Toyota there is no fuss. Remove the owners manual from the glove box and there is the cabin air box compartment.

With my Toyota there's no fuss.
