MotorcraftFP-68 Cabin Air Filter, Original Version, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

Direct fit. Did not appear to a fake filter. Box did arrive crushed but filter was still in shape.

OEM part, would have been ideal if vehicle access was as easy as it was to take filter out of its box !!Ford Explorer location is very tight, Big hands didn't help.

It did not work as the sides of the filter are too soft to be pushed into the slot. Even though it seemed nearly identical to what I intended to replace (form-factor, writings on sides, etc.) it was still quite different as mentioned above. The original installed had harder sides that allowed it to be pulled out and pushed back easily without jamming it, while this one was jammed right away when just attempted to push it in. I am returning it.

The filter is fine. Nothing fancy, it's a genuine Motorcraft replacement for Ford and Lincoln vehicles. I noted it's missing the "Airflow ^ (direction arrow)" notation that is present on the side of the factory-installed filter, although there doesn't appear to be any directionality to it -- probably more so to ensure it's reinstalled in the correct orientation if you were to re-install it after removing it for a quick visual inspection.If you're curious about the difficulty of the installation, don't be worried! It's a tool-free replacement process that takes all of three minutes. On my Flex, the filter is in a slot behind the glove compartment. The plastic sides of the glove box need to be pressed inward so that the box opens past the stops, far enough to dump any contents to the floor (hopefully you've already removed your owner manual and gloves (?)). Then there's a small syringe-like "soft open" plunger on the left side that connects with a little button. This should be slid up in its slot so the button can pop out of the plastic glove box side. (It'll be obvious when you're fiddling with it.)Then locate a thin trap door over the HVAC blower motor. There are two thumb latches on the bottom side of this trap door; lift against those (with your thumbs!) and it'll open like a lid. Remove it completely and you'll see the old filter hidden behind. It pulls right out.Assembly is easier than removal. Just don't drop anything into the open filter slot -- I suspect the HVAC blower blades are exposed right below where the filter sits.
