Review on Enhance Air Quality with Mopar Cabin Air Filter by Christopher Hicks

If you're reading these reviews, you've surely noticed by now that all WK Grand Cherokees left the factory with no cabin air filter or even a housing! It's somewhat remarkable that a 4x4 SUV is designed for off-road use, but I digress. To install this you'll likely see YouTube videos suggesting you don't even have to pull the right hand wiper arm and hood vent. I'll make you a suggestion. It's not that difficult, and if you try to install it by simply pulling the gasket off the housing vent and pushing in, you'll likely break the tab on the outboard end of the filter housing. And you just can't do a better job. To change the filter in the future, in no case do not pull the wiper arm, just lift the fairing opening and insert and remove the filters. But do it right to install the case. In addition, before removing the factory grille from the air intake, turn on the key and run the air conditioner in recirculation mode. This closes the fresh air intake flap. The OEM sheet metal shield is held through the firewall sheet metal with plastic rods that you cannot reach to detach the shield from the engine bay side. So if you take it off, one or more of the tabs will break and try to fall into the blower's squirrel cage. If you closed the recirculation door, she can't fall in there! Just make sure you remove it before installing the filter housing or you will have some very annoying noise from your fan. The case does not clog and allows unfiltered air to flow around it. I used Gorilla brand duct tape to seal the holes and secure the driver (inner) end of the case to the firewall as there isn't much on that end to press firmly against the metal (again, not the best technical product of all time). created). Be careful not to close the gap under the filter housing. Yes, this also allows unfiltered air around the case. But this "hole" is also a channel, so that water can drain behind this sheet metal. You don't want to lock him up there. That's all. I have noticed a significant reduction in the amount of dust entering the cabin in dusty conditions. It therefore fulfills at least part of what is expected of a cabin filter. Given how expensive these new Jeeps were, it's surprising Chrysler didn't see them as necessary.
