I found i needed needle nose pliers to squeeze on the knob. And I did what you said .. I pushed outward on the tabs until I heard them snap!!!! Thank ALOT!!!😂 I
Finally a cabin filter that you dont have to use tools. Several of my former vehicles, and my current vehicles are a bit of a struggle to change out cabin filters. I've always figured the manufacturer wanted these change outs to be done at the dealer, to make easy money.
Thanks for the great video. I had the right clip break immediately and it might be because it was freezing temp when i decided to change the cabin air filter, however, the holes in the front of the door next to the clips are so you can install screws that will secure the door if and when these cheap plastic clips break! 🇺🇲✌️
Dang! Yeah, I wonder if the plastic was just frozen up. But you are right...its a hidden spot, so plenty of options to work with to get it secured again haha
Appreciate you for taking the time to post this video. I have Ford points to take care of my oil change, but the local dealership asked me if I wanted my engine air filter and/or cabin filter changed. They quoted $69.95 and $89.95 respectively. Filters cost $10-20 online, so as you suggested, I said "No Thanks."
You're welcome! Our other vehicle is a model 3, I haven't even looked into the process of replacing that filter. I guess im not looking forward to that one! lol
OK, wow... Thanks for this video. I just checked; the filter alone is only between $20-$30. It only took you a few minutes to change it. So where are the dealers getting the extra $250 charge from?!
@@christopher6549 I mostly agree with you, but I do know of at least one Ford dealer near me who would (really try to) take advantage of a major up-charge for any repair. I've walked away from that dealer, won't go back there for anything, major or minor. But you make a good point about the higher prices for the parts themselves.
Don't have one, but good to know. I do have a2006 subaru sti with a cabin air filter which I change myself. Dealer wants 1 hour labor plus parts. Labor rates in my area are $150 per hour
Depending on where you drive, every 15,000 - 30,000 miles. I live in CA, if we go through a real smoky wild fire season, or if I have been in some real dusty environments, I will try and make sure I change at 15k. On the other hand, a lot of people never change theirs until they smell musty odor or the airflow through their vehicle's heating/cooling system is noisy or weak.
Great tutorial and an easy filter to change. My Ford CMax is in the central stack area and you have to be on the passenger floor area to change it. Great looking artwork on your arms by the way!
I have the 2.0 ecoboost now. Previously had the hybrid, but sold it for the faster awd option. Hopefully upgrading to the TREMOR next. Although if you are asking if this same process works on the hybrid, the answer is yes.
Simple directions, clear video, and thoughtful warnings about how not to break the flimsy plastic parts. Well done.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Too bad Ford didn't do this on the previous gen explorer instead of the idiotic plastic push pins added as well on the bottom hinges

Not sure if available for the Maverick, but the Fram baking soda infused cabin air filters are nice. Edit: they are CF12772
I’m gonna throw an air fresher in there when I put a new filter in , I think
Thats actually a sweet idea
Ohh I wondered why my AC in my nissan frontier was stinky😂 thanks so much for this as new maverick owner!
I have once made that mistake too lol

Haha! exactly why I made this video. So many people are still under the belief "you gotta take apart the dash" to change the filter.
ranger design is much better - these fragile POS will snap off thanks to the crap ford engineering - amazing

exact same thing here. i used a zip tie. oh well
I just replace both, Engine and Cabin air filter when I change the oil, so every 5k miles.
dang, some would argue that's a little excessive. i would probably opt for every other
Thank you for sharing the video. This will be helpful in the future.
I also have a 22 Maverick ecoboost fx4.

So what is the part number is I want to buy a replacement from Walmart? Not an OEM part.
you got me. amazon is my go to for stuff like that (and that one i believe i listed in the description)
How often should I change my air filter and does anyone have a link to buy one
About as simple as it gets. thank you. ( I replaced the cabin air filter in our Tesla...what a pain in the A$$)
You're welcome! Our other vehicle is a model 3, I haven't even looked into the process of replacing that filter. I guess im not looking forward to that one! lol
Do you have a tutorial for the air filter under the engine bay?
OK, wow... Thanks for this video. I just checked; the filter alone is only between $20-$30. It only took you a few minutes to change it. So where are the dealers getting the extra $250 charge from?!
Defaulting to the price for an hour of labor I guess haha

I've never heard of anyone charging $2-300 for a Cabin Filter. We charge $30 in labor at my dealership, and $40 for the filter.
good video ( 12 months or 12000 miles)
Well done video!
Thank you!

Yeah dang! I am glad most manufacturers are placing them behind the glove box and easy to get to.
How many miles should this be changed on the truck?
Depending on where you drive, every 15,000 - 30,000 miles.

I do mine every year

Rock Auto sells them reasonably.
Excellent!! Thanks!! This video saved me $200
Amazing to hear! Makes it all worth it!
Thanks great video
Great video, super easy with your instructions.
Awesome! glad it helped
Thanks for the informative video! Btw are those bronco sport fx4 carbonized grey wheels?
Good eye. They are wheels off a 2021 Bronco Sport Badlands (carbonized grey indeed). Definitely one of the best easy options for a Maverick XL
@@maverickresource Nice to know they fit, I'm thinking of getting the gloss black ones to replace my ugly steelies.
Helpful video dude. Keep them up. Got a Maverick Tremor on the way
Thanks.
I broke those tabs on my last Ford, maybe they get brittle with years. Guess new owner is going to get a surprise someday.
Hybrid?
I have the 2.0 ecoboost now. Previously had the hybrid, but sold it for the faster awd option. Hopefully upgrading to the TREMOR next. Although if you are asking if this same process works on the hybrid, the answer is yes.

Just the money making gimmick never Had to change cab filters on any vehicle ever you don't have to change one on this
They are pretty cheap. It's literally a filter for the air being pumped into your cabin...I dont see why NOT to change it if its dirty or smelly?
Really? Good luck with that... And they are cheap anyway.
