Review on πŸ” EPAuto GP942 (CA11942) Panel Air Filter: Replacement for Hyundai Sonata & Optima 2.0L/2.4L Models (2015-2020) by Hikeboy Ramey

Clamps do not match locking bars

I purchased this filter to replace an OEM filter on my 2016 Hyundai Sonata and although the packaging says this model is an OEM filter replacement the clamps do not fit perfectly. I've attached photos of the original filter showing the tabs aligned, and then a replacement with only the leftmost tab aligned and the other two misaligned. The last photo shows the model of the original filter and what it says on the box. Although the clips don't work (and I accidentally broke a clip trying to insert the pole), the filter fits snugly in the housing so I'm not overly concerned. I ended up not reinstalling those stop bars and just kept them in the glove box for next time. So in general, buy this filter if you want a cheap replacement and don't worry about using locking bars to secure it.
