i just did this on my 05 pathfinder today, it was hard to swing the glove box out of the way... so i used a long screw driver for the left side, then i coudnt figure out how to get the Plastic thing off, then i got it few mins later... u gotta press UP ON it not DOWN lol... and it came off instantly and i changed the filters although the ones already in there... Airflow arrow was UP... directions say put airflow DOWN and thats waht I did... dunno.. anyway how was your airflow arrows?
I checked my filters today and the arrows were pointed up. I put the filters back w/ the arrows pointing down and it sounds a little quieter than before, not as much fan noise.
So is everyone's filters in the arrow up position when they're supposed to be pointing down???
My filters had the arrows pointing up also. But I did not know I even had them since it was not on the list of features that I paid for on the window sticker. I was all set to buy them to install, but thought I should check just in case. Knocked the dead bugs out, flipped them over and ready to go.
No bolt in mine either, thought I was going to break the glove box before it popped out on the left side. The filters, especially the second one, seem hard to push in.
Ditto on the left side of the glove box. The right side was very easy, but the left side is a bear. I thought about taking a little off of the left pivot point to make it easier,
but was afraid it might cause a problem.
no more than I drive I won't have to do it again for a few
years. I had more trouble with the first filter than I did with the second one. Not that big a problem though.

In the FSM it states that the filters are not reversible and flow is only supposed to be one way.
I had to bring this thread back-do we even need the damn things-i hardly ever use the A\C during summer(first truck I had with A\C don't like the windows up) except on long interstate runs but I run the defrost a lot in winter-will the truck blow up if I take them out and don't put any back?

My truck didn't have them from the factory. But, I didnt find that out until after 15mo/15k miles of driving when it was time to "change" them. No problems in that time and if it was that critical, I would think the factory would have installed them. I went ahead and put them in at 15k. I've seen pictures of dirty filters when others have changed thiers, but I can't say I can notice any difference. Still, I'll probably replace mine every 15k like they recommend; it's just my way these days.
