In this video, we’re diving into the process of replacing the cabin filters in a Model 3. We’ll be using a kit from Amazon, which includes everything you need to get the job done, including a trim removal tool and an allen key.
Before we start, it’s a good idea to clean out the air conditioner coil. We’ll be using an Armor All vent and duct cleaner to get rid of any mildew or buildup. To access the coil, we’ll need to remove the kick plate and unclip the light and speaker.
Once that’s done, we can use the allen key to unscrew the plastic cover that gives us access to the filters. There are two filters, one on top of the other, so we’ll remove both of them and inspect them.
We’ll compare the old filters to the new ones and see the difference in quality. The new filters have a hepa filter on one side and activated charcoal on the other. We’ll install the new filters with the charcoal side facing the rear of the car, and then reinstall the door. The whole process takes about 10 minutes, and it’s a great way to improve the air quality in your Model 3.
