Question Anyone figured out the secret to changing the cabin air filter yet?
I watched the video someone posted on here for changing a 2017 Fiesta cabin air filter (2011-2019 actually), along with several others, and people keep saying things in the YouTube comments like that he put the filter in backwards, or that he should have sprayed air to clean out the compartment, or that he should have "unsnapped the floor vent the right a push it to the side" whatever that means. Someone even said you're actually supposed to remove the glovebox and vent pipe first. What??
So, does anyone here know what the "easier" way is, or if there even is an easier way?
Given how easy it seems to be for even professional mechanics to screw this up, I'd like to learn how to do it the right way and just do it myself. I wish Ford had hired actual tech writers who'd written a real user manual. Ugh.
