It's a 10 minute job. Get to it from above the passenger foot well behind the glove box. Three screws. I think they are 10mm hex and the plate drops down. You have to work the filter in, it's a bit tight. It only goes in one way.
Either activated charcoal or plain will work but since Mercedes doesn't provide a 2 filter mode anymore with the charcoal filter alternate you'll want the charcoal filter for it's increased ability to filter odors out. Buy from OReilly, NAPA , order on Amazon or AutohausAZ.

Two things first, post 23 in this thread is a video that is the same procedure and second the attached is from the Mann filter site.
No offense but next time do a little research before you post and ask others to do the work for you.

2013 cabin filter and RUDENESS
In fact I did do my research. The video was for a 2010 not a 2013. Since the under dash does not look the same I wanted to see instuctions that were for MY vehicle before screwing things up. As I states other clickable sites were no longer available. Thanks for the pdf though it will help a lot but no thanks for your rudeness. It makes you sound extremely immature

I tried the link and got the video that did not pertain to my car to .Some people are rude, by nature . For rudeness 101 look at the US Vette forum, but the CDN Vette forum is very different .I had 7 of them , I will never buy another by the way.

The fact of the matter is the filter is the same from '10 to '13 and so is the manual from Mann Filters. The filter sits in he same place and if you can't figure it out I would leave it up to someone who knows what they are doing.
You know that we on the forums try our best to help others but we all expect everyone to do their homework before posting. But most unfortunately do not and we find so many threads with the same questions and think when we answer it sounds like we are trying to be snide. That is not the case but you are entitled your opinion. Even if you are wrong.

I will not buy another Vette because I had my fill of the ride and not being able to drive it all year around, not because of the forum.I belong to the Benz forum to learn and help others NOT to criticise others . End of discussion with you!

It's too bad on two fronts first because it took you 7 Vettes to figure it out and spent all that money and secondly, it doesn't sound like you were helping "vinnieg". I thought that is why you joined the forum. Don't be upset just move on.

Does the Mann CUK29005 have 2 holes at the shorter end similar to the OEM filter for the 2012 GLK350? I peeked into the filter hole and noticed 2 metal prongs.
The Mann CUK2551 mentioned earlier in the thread does not have these 2 holes and thus will not work for the 2012 GLK350.

I spoke with an autohausaz rep yesterday as I bought the CUK2551 from them 2 years ago. I bought several cabin filters knowing that it is the same for the W204 and X204.
I sent him a picture of the OEM 2012 GLK350 filter side by side with the CUK2551. He confirms that what they have on stock for the 2012 GLK350 does not have the 2 hole cut outs.
Here is a the side by side pic for reference.

Just wanted to give my own take on this - I found it to be a pain in the *** to change this filter. I've changed the cabin filter on countless vehicles over the years and this was by far the most difficult of the bunch.
Next time I'm just going to pay the service shop to change it for me.
I have to say that overall, changing the engine and cabin filters on this vehicle are by far and away the most complicated of any vehicle I've ever worked on and I've owned lot's of car brands (Acura, Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Lexus, Porsche, Toyota, VW, etc)...

The engine filter is a bit more work than it should be, but it needs to be done only every 4 years of so.

I found it really tough to get the little metal clips released on each side of the filter lid, and then impossible to reinstall said metal clips. I ended up just having the filter held in place by the plastic slider only (which seems sufficient to me anyway).
I also managed to break the plastic cover that holds the footwell light - the instructions made it look like this was supposed to come all the way out before moving the bottom carpet, but it's really the opposite.
I don't know if maybe they changed things for the 2013+, perhaps this is why the trouble.

Mann Filter CUK 29 005
Anyone used the newer Mann replacement cabin filter CUK 29 005? It looks like it is shaped slightly differently at the narrow end compared to the original MB filter and the previous Mann replacement as well.

For the 2012 GLK350, the CUK29005 will not work as the OEM cabin filters has 2 holes (see pic at post #38).
Before purchasing a replacement first check what is installed.

I understand there are a bunch of "inspections" that need to be done also... is this that important?

Day before that I went to the dealer with coupon for a free Inspection, which showed no any problem exept low Battery charge, which was fixed at home by CTEK 7002 battery charger.
Forgot to mention new windshield blades every year.

Brake fluid and cabin filter get also replaced at 20k, but they are separate items at my dealer.
