cabin filter install
Anyone else ever have difficulties with this? I am about to go MAD!!! I figured it was an easy drop and put the clip back in install? Am I missing something here? The original filter wont go back in either
Any help or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!!!

Changing the filter the first time might take some time to find where the clips are located and how to remove them without breaking them. But after the first time it's fairly easy, just about 5 to 10 min or so....

The Filter is Directional.
Are you sure you installed the filter the correct way. There are two tabs, one on top and one on the bottom, and are offset so the filter will only seat in in one direction. The Filter medium should face the passenger door and the backing screen should face the drivers door.

ML350 cabin filter is located under the glove compartment... drop the under dash and you should see a tab there... un clip it and it drops down

Can't hardly miss it after removing two very simple screws! Try it.
