Review on FRAM Fresh Breeze CF8391A Cabin Air Filter with Arm & Hammer Baking Soda - Enhanced Air Quality for Select GM Vehicles by Robert Carter

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Looks good but very very difficult to assemble.

Although it says it fits my car and it probably would fit if it could be installed it just wouldn't fit. This filter is very similar to Delco's factory AC filter (and also comes in three interlocking pieces). sections), but it is much thinner, ie plastic sidewalls, support profiles and filter material so flexible that it would be impossible to fit it into the narrow slot where it enters without bending and hanging the inner rails of the carriage. Then when I tried to pull it out to straighten it, the plastic side guides detached from the media and the whole thing became unusable. I ended up rinsing the old filter out thoroughly and reinstalling it with no problems as it was a lot stiffer than the new one.

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • Fits
