Bless you bro 🔥🔥. It's insane that we have to go through all of that just to change a cabin filter.

[@Lemtheachiever]

I know 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@shaneh9591]

Dude it really is! my sister has this vehicle. Meanwhile my 18 Honda Accord takes maybe 10 seconds lol

[@TravisRSCX1]

$$$

[@lisandroramirez2746]

just did one and i was like wtfff all this just for a filter i was sweating 😂

[@PC-mn5tt]

It’s sad that the automotive industry does this so we feel that we have no choice but to take it to a mechanic and they charge an arm to replace it when it was a quick fix. I remember changing out my old air filter without having to go through this whole obstacle course on my Altima.

[@lisavazquez2375]

Wow FCA has lost their marbles!! This is an insane amount of work just to replace a filter!

[@tonywest8706]

Just got done changing the filter in our Jeep Compass and it literally took me 7 minutes to do it. Thank you so much for posting this very educational video.

[@PYR-Auto]

You're Welcome!

[@Redwood65]

Great video. Straight to the point, no extraneous story telling, etc...

[@PYR-Auto]

Thanks! Glad it helped

[@krishnaramesh5323]

This is from India. Changed the cabin filter myself after watching this video. It feels good doing it by yourself. Thanks a lot. God bless you.

[@PYR-Auto]

Glad it helped!

[@LASkally]

Just want to say THANK you. Successfully replaced mine today after mechanic wanted to charge ridiculous amount for it.

[@PYR-Auto]

You're Welcome! Glad it helped!

[@larrygreen492]

Remember when all you had to do was squeeze the ends together on the glove box and it was RIGHT THERE?!? No screws, no pulling apart the dash. 5 min job tops. Good times. Wtf is this..

[@labbeaj]

Control!

[@darkslidebs]

My ‘19 Jetta is still like that

[@superpater1]

You Can actually still do that on many vehicles including these jeep compass's. I just did it on my parents 2022 and I just dropped the glove box down amd out of the way amd saves from dealing with the 6 other screws and push clips

[@larrygreen492]

@superpater1 They must have changed it from the 2021. Either way, my Compass is dead. A Prius pulled in front of me and I rolled it over. I have a 2022 Cherokee now. Hopefully I can keep this one rubber side down.

[@superpater1]

@larrygreen492 that's unfortunate man but for sure rubber side. Mopar4life!

[@mutualexcrement]

This video helps me like every 6 months. Thank you!

[@PYR-Auto]

You're welcome!

[@tweakfreak87]

Gotta love how impossible they make it to do your own maintenance on your vehicle, especially Jeeps. Thanks for the easy step-by-step. I’d rather do things myself if I can & save a few bucks.

[@zerchdafirst5994]

$$$$$$ for dealers and mechanic Now we have an idea where this BS!!! It's going Next huge BS!!! With the electric cars

[@PYR-Auto]

[@MagmaManSSJ]

Hey thanks for the video , i have my right air vent blocked (the one near the passenger door) for some reason no air seem to come out not even little . What could be the cause ? All other 3 vents work perfectly .

[@PYR-Auto]

You're welcome - I'm not sure what would be causing a blocked vent

[@dohner2429]

Saved my ass today at the shop, thank you!

[@niccrohan2235]

Thanks!

[@PYR-Auto]

Thank you so much! We really appreciate it!

[@ReynaldoMercadochillin]

Why the hell do I have an extra T25 screw left over when I put all the screws back were the belong .....? 3 on top 2 on the bottom 1 on the right and 1 on the bracket plus a Philip on the plastic cover ...So were did I get this extra T25 screw from did it twice to double check and no clue any ideas???

[@bigjagsfan2033]

And this will make my air work again

[@PYR-Auto]

it can improve airflow but if your air is not working at all you likely have other issues

[@jaafarsoltany1017]

Thanx🙏

[@PYR-Auto]

You’re welcome!

[@ambermerc]

If i dropped a ring through my defrost vent would it come out here if i opened it up??

[@PYR-Auto]

it's possible - would be worth a look

[@311bumper]

Omg so excessive, thanks a lot Jeep!!!

[@twrich1984]

By replacing this will it resolve the musty smell?

[@PYR-Auto]

Yes, it can help. I would recommend getting a charcoal or carbon activated filter as they will do a better job of eliminating odors.

[@hellofoodiebeauties]

Yay I can't wait to check if mines dirty... damn... still better than a 2013 dodge ram though lol

[@cristinatorres8641]

We tried doing that now my jeep doesn't want to turn on. What else can I do to fix it.

[@PYR-Auto]

The cabin air filter should have no effect on your car starting or not - I think you may have other issues

[@cornelldaniel]

Is it the same for a 2022 jeep compass

[@PYR-Auto]

Not sure not that - have not done a 2022 yet

[@chavo818]

Do you know the filter size ?

[@PYR-Auto]

Cabin filters don't really have "sizes", there are part numbers but each brand of filter uses its own part number. Places that sell cabin filters will sell them by year, make and model of the vehicle - rather than a specific size or part number itself.

[@emjayjones5218]

Nothing is made simple anymore. That is just tedious for a cabin filter replacement. Smh

[@PYR-Auto]

Yeah - a lot of these are harder to change than they need to be

[@barbschank7267]

Just had this done and was told there was a mouse nest with five dead mice on top of my cabin air filter, how is that possible when I don’t see any room ?

[@PYR-Auto]

Unfortunately that is not that uncommon - mice can get in very small openings in the vent system such as the air inlet

[@heybierman]

Thanks for saving me a to of cash.

[@PYR-Auto]

Glad it helped!

[@RayRayP2001]

Pretty sad you have to remove the whole box when the older ones you could just press the tabs and unhook the dampener and have access to it. Why lol?

[@superpater1]

You actually don't need to remove the whole assembly. Doing so just gives you more working room but you can just remove the glove box itself like you mentioned and still get the same access to that Brace which is in a poor location for my liking and the filter access can pop out the same. Less screws to worry about

[@marcosgarica3056]

10 mm bolt of course, touché Jeep

[@cornelldaniel]

Seems like the 2022 is different

[@dimasapple2780]

This robot is just out of your mind, you can unfasten the glove compartment from its hinges, you just have to put it back on the latch

[@cuda6872]

Over $60 to have the dealership do this.

[@DoodleyDavid]

What a nightmare to change this filter.

[@muhogg5385]

Ridiculously complex compared to any other vehicles. Simplicity and common sense were thrown out the window on this one! Thumbs down 👎 Fiat/Chrysler

[@allenhyduck3450]

No way this can be done in 7 minutes, unless that's dog minutes. It's at least a 20 to 30 minute job, even when you've done it 100 times

[@mrunknown8810]

They must be kidding!!!!

[@Officer239]

What a pain in the ass to do on these newer models fucking fiat Chrysler for ya

[@Kaidox1971]

It makes no sense, it takes idiots to invent that, with my Dodge Grand Caravan 2018 it took me 5 mins to change it, with Mazda so easily.

[@clay1671]

Stupidest cabin filter location I've ever seen 50 screws later you finally get to it

[@stronglifelived4sure394]

Awesome video incredibly stupid design by Jeep. Should just follow Honda's. Open the glove box all the way squeeze the sides in and the box falls all the way open. Way to go Jeep for the simplicity 🙄 like why even put that stupid brace on it. It's all shit to make things harder for the common person

[@lrncephil80]

To force us to pay whatever ridiculous amount the dealer wants to charge for that job. My Hyundai dealer tried to get me for $55 and its the same process as the Honda. What makes it worse is l chnaged it two months prior, so l know rhey didnt even check it.

[@peteryang6861]

Never Fiat in the future. Fuck the stupid filter.

[@rayjan1936]

Fiat junk

[@bradrook3919]

American made crap! Why so much work for a cabin filter? I buy Honda....but wife has this pos
