I wish I could help. When the product was shipped to me, I opened it, plugged it in, turned it on, and found it defective. It barely put out heat and ran for about 10 seconds. I put it back in the box and took it to UPS for the return trip all within 15 minutes from the time it arrived.

I am not sure why. I just assumed to keep the front and back areas clean and free of lint. So I use a toothbrush to brush the front grill so there's no dust or lint.

I cut a tiny piece of thin plastic and inserted it in front of the intake on the filter (leaving SOME room for intake, but covering at least half of the area). It works like a charm!

I thought the exact same thing at first in my 1998. There is a trick -- the filter is not linear to the side of the airbox, align the filter to the tabs where it sets, not to how you would expect it to fit looking at the airbox. The tabs appear to be linear to the wall of the airbox, but there is an angle that allows the filter to fit without modifying the stock airbox.

Sorry Arthur...I think you're right! I ordered a spare filter back in June and thought nothing of it. Then, I went to change my filter this morning and the one they sent me was wrong. My old filter has an opening on both ends and the new one does not. Plus, the part number is different. Maybe it's a new design but I'm not putting it in until I find out. Thanks for making me aware of this. I wouldn't put your's in either. Please let me know if you find something out from the company.

It is right behind the grates where the air comes out. You drop down the grate. The filter is right there. You wash it and put it back, or you can vacuum it from the front without removing the grate.

The black flimsy one sits on top of the actual filter located at the rear of the air filter. The filter is rectangular with a black edge. Amazon sells the replacement filters.

The air intake is the "oval" area on the front of the machine. The filter is right behind the oval area. The "clean" air comes from the left side. Don't hesitate to buy this as you will be quite satisfied with it.

Not sure but maybe you need an additional air cleaner? Mine is fairly new and I am thrilled with it, and am considering getting another one for the other end of my place.

Hello,I just looked it up on a few auto sites. This filter will NOT fit your car. You have a cartridge style filter, which means it will look like a "round air filter" not an enclosed self contained filter.

There is an air filter and two water filters. Detailed instructions came with the product. Too elaborate to explain here. We have cleaned the air filter; not the water filters yet.

There is only one way for the filter to fit. There is a cutout at the top that has to fit where there is a piece of plastic on the unit. Black side out, white side toward unit

Since there is no "replacement" (I woud also like to know where to specially order a filter to replace the original one), would you happen to know any video tutorials on how to clean it? I thought i read in the instructions that you were not supposed to wash it. You are only permitted to vacuum the filter?

If I understand you correctly, thr prefilter lays flat mesh side up under tbe air filter. The I structions are fairly easy to follow on the back of the air filter package. Be sure to soak the prefilter with engine oil and wring it out well before placing it in the airfilter compartment. The oil trapps the ultra fine dust. I sure youtube has instructional videos if you are having further problems. I hope this helps.

Yes, under the passenger side glove box, there's a filter compartment take out the two old filters that are standing straight up, pull the first one down then slide the inside filter out towards you... and replace with the pair of filters for clean cabin air...You'll be surprised how dirty the old ones are...The filter's have direction arrows for correct flow...

I agree that cutting the pre filter is a pain. You have to measure and cut it to fit, but I guess it's supposed to work. I also vacuum the original filter. To be honest I don't notice the difference.I wish I could find an air purifier that worker liked my long lasting last one that I bought at Lowes.....but that was about 4 years ago and can't find one like that any more.

Whatever place you put it, be sure it is secure. It should also complement air flow for dust collection and heat or ac sources? My concern is also access to changing the filters as they clog? It's an odd size filter. I'm considering making a pre filter frame to use cheaper filters from the box store. Good luck, be safe!
