Thanks for this, used your video as a guide to replace the filters on a 2019 GLC43. It was LHD so the cabin pre-filter was on the right side, but same thing just reversed, Bought the Mahle brand filters from Rockauto and saved quite a bit of money as well.👍🏻
After doing this for the first time I now wish the German engineers responsible for the cabin air filter suffer greatly for their crimes against humanity
Thank you!! Mine is LHD and I'm about to replace both on my 2018 GLC300, looks like a real pain in the _ss. Of course it is, I expected no less.. ;-) At least now I know where they are... Thanks again.
The filter that AutoMotiv8ed purchased, there is no other way he could get it in. The fact that the ribs are horizontal in the new one and they were verticle in the old, that I am not sure has a bearing and it appears to be the manufacturer's production structuring. Bottom line: I have watched other videos and irrespective of whether LHD or RHD vehicles, I have seen the original filter having verticle ribs when being pulled out. The most important fact imo is to ensure that the direction of the air-flow is correct when installing as there are after-market-products and the rib structure direction (vertical vs horizontal when installing) can vary.
And oh btw, in mercedes benz service shops these filters for 2020 year GLC 300 are not called "both the Cabin A/C filters" as the title of this video indicates. The one inside the engine compartment is called "engine air filter" or the "dust filter" AND the one inside the glove compartment (always on passenger side, nevermind if it's LHD or RHD) is actually called "cabin air filter" (also sometimes called "activated filter")
Danke für das Video der neue Filter wurde mit den Rillen horizontal eingebaut und das ist falsch. Dieser muss mit den Rillen nämlich vertikal rein weil im oberen bereich zwei löcher um filter sind und die müssen in die führungsstifte im Gehäuse rein. Der Filter hat auch ziemlich gespannt beim Einbau.
I’ve taken mine out and they don’t have all fluff etc in them and seem clean but we’re having issues with the windows steaming up. Will this help with that if I change them. No obvious blockages and no wet anywhere
@@BCV_71 it was installed right. the picture in your PDF file is of a LHD car. His is RHD car. if you follow the design of the filter box, it is installed correctly, he installed it the same way it was taken out.
This was designed by an undergrad just out of school working at Valeo as his first job. He thought it works on the computer screen therefore it must be good. This guy must hate mechanics, I don't have another explanation. What a crap solution.
Incorrectly installed the cabin carbon filter. The filter elements must be positioned vertically. You set it horizontally. The old filter was installed correctly.
So great! One handed! You are my hero! Thank you!
You're welcome!

@Mario Ordinario Thank you for your feedback! Glad i can help!
Finally found out the 2nd piece air filter, thank you for your help :)
Glad I could help!!
Getting the little 2 piece cover back on over the air filter was such a pain!
we feel your pain

Vertical is better. It helps the filter media keep its shape.
Der neue Filter ist tatsächlich mit de Rillen horizontal eingebaut worden und das ist definitiv falsch deshalb hat dieser beim Einbau so gespannt.
it shouldn't go in loosely like it did in the video. you only have to flip and turn the filter for it to be vertical. It fits snugly inside.
So we have a 2021 glc 300 base I went to the Mercedes store parts to get replacement filters they gave me 3 ?
so your 2021 glc 300 have 2 cabin filters as well? I own a 2020 and haven't checked. I think most cars only have 1 cabin filter so feel weird about it

What’s part number for both filter?

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. What a poor design tho.
You're welcome
the video helped a lot but very thing is on the other-side, damn english
welcome 👍
It was in the position like this (3:12)
Now it stands in this position (3:37)
Conclusion: the filter was installed wrongly
Filter was installed same way it was taken out..
Thank younfor viewing
@@AutoMotiv8ed look carefully, pay attention to the folds of the filter ;) this is important

@@AutoMotiv8ed and you got the wrong direction of air flow through the filter (the filter is upside down), the filter will quickly clog

А в леворульную фильтр не так легко входит!

Yep unfortunately we have to deal with this 😪

i noticed that
It only fits one way it doesn't matter if the elements goes vertical or horizontal
Wrong way installation 🤦♂️
I agree. Filter has 2 locator holes that need to go on top. He forced that filter in and it’s not sitting right
