    What a pain to replace. My wife has a 2018 Focus. Compared to the air filter in my Hyundai Accent (under the glove box), this is wild.

      Same I have Toyotas that take literally less than 30 seconds to do. This is absurd.

      Changing out the battery is even worse. You have to take out the entire air box just to get to it.

      Yeah it is. I just replaced mine for the second time and it’s a pain. The absolute best design I’ve ever seen is in the new Honda civics. I changed my mom’s recently and you lower the glove box (easy) and the filter cap thing is right there. Took a total of 2 mins to do, whereas I just spent 15 min cussing at my ST

    Having to bend the filter to put it in is HORRIBLE for the integrity of the filter. Ford made sure to make this maintenance item a hiccup for people. Shame.

      You don't actually have to bend/squeeze it like shown in the end of the video, I did it 3-4 times now, it is quite hard to push it in, but I only bended it a little, some wiggling and it got in. But it definitely is a pain in the a**.

      The oil place I took my car to said this service would cost $200 bc it was a difficult process compared to other cars. This looks simple enough to do on your own. Only reason we have to watch a video like this is because in most cars, it’s just in the glove compartment, but on focuses they had to be difficult 😭

    My ford focus had some weak AC airflow and I thought to change the cabin air filter first (thanks for the help!) although it was very over due for a new filter unfortunately this didn’t solve the weak airflow issue do you have any ideas?

    to reinstall the plastic cover, once the part was roughly in place, I used a long flat blade screwdriver to shove the top of it into the upper slot to get it seated. getting the cover seated was the hardest part. also make sure you have a magnetized torx bit and holder.
