Custom Cabin Air Filter Installation for 2003 - 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis / Crown Victoria

I recently installed this on my 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis LS and it works great! This is the ONLY retrofit cabin air filter kit on the market for this car. The entire project took about an hour to complete. My kit was lightly different than shown on the manufacturer's website as the gasket was already attached to the base.
I am NOT being paid to make this video and was NOT asked to make a video. It's just fun!

Great job on the “Love what you drive” video. I think I’m going to get a dash cam now.

[@kermitefrog64]

Thank you for sharing. I have a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis LS and have wondered what can be done to add a cabin air filter especially since we live in an area of the San Joaquin Valley that has very dirty air.

[@kermitefrog64]

Great Video. I just ordered a cabin air filter from your link on Pony Parts.

Answers my question the 2003 Marquis does not have a cabin air filter

[@ericsalgado2450]

Great job just bought a crown Victoria is leaking water on passenger side under the glove compartment. Is this gasket for that? Thanks appreciate

[@1bigmacha-thePianoLesson]

Yes, the gasket raises up the filter and should prevent water from leaking into the car. The stock screen also has a gasket though mine was worn out and had a hole in it. Though I'm NOT a mechanic, from my limited experience your leak is likely coming from somewhere else: drain under the cowl clogged with leaves, clogged condensation hose, or perhaps a bad heater core (check for antifreeze or water). Here's my idea for a homemade filter: Cut some window screen slightly larger than the kidney shaped stock screen. Cut some flat filter media to the inner dimension of the stock screen. Place the larger window screen underneath the smaller filter media to keep it from falling into the hole. Screw down the stock screen and you're done. Be sure to inspect and replace the gasket on the stock screen if it's old and failing.

That is probably your heater core bud.

[@BLACKEDOUTVIK]

Lol heater core bro

A question for the Crown Victoria interceptor is the same??

[@danielmcqueen1024]

Yes, the Crown Vick and the Grand Marques from 1998 to 2011 are the same car, the Interceptor has upgraded suspention for service duty.

Donde puedo conseguir ese filtro

[@dadishappytoo1776]

hey angel, you really should spin your belt buckle around to your side. so you don't scratch fenders. i'm amazed your boss didn't mention that to all the employees at a morning meeting lol

[@1bigmacha-thePianoLesson]

Actually, customers pay Angel extra to custom engrave their car with his belt buckle while he's fixing it. Let's see you try that!

[@APR1125]

man that's a bitch to replace tho lol, especially with pollen season keeps clogging it up, no?

[@1bigmacha-thePianoLesson]

It harder to replace your lungs :-)
