Removing the entire glovebox seemed like a stupid design. Thanks very much for showing us your very sensible and much easier method

[@swamotorsports8818]

We are glad that this helped you!

omgosh, sooo much easier than that other person taking off entire glove box!! took me 6 min and I'm a girl! prob saved me about 100 buck, thanx

[@robertclucas7119]

Appreciate your work! This is so much easier! Also glad MB had the great idea of putting these filters under the hood instead of under the dash. I looked at the passenger side under dash and my heart sank LOL! My 13 Acadia and 18 Silverado were nowhere near this simple!

[@erintorinr]

Awesome thanks for the video. This will save me some money

[@peerapot]

Thank you for the video. It is easier and simple like you said. Take me about 10 mins to finish the job%%%%

Great video, thanks.

Good

Guru G, the video was very informative, will save time DIY - where did you buy the scent sticks and also what sockets used for the work

[@briandreggors5280]

Excellent work up. Mercedes wants you to take out the glove box so you either get frustrated or intimidated by it so you just pay them .7hrs @ $150/HR to do it for you.

Thanks for that!

All this time all i had to do is pull them out🤣🤣🤣 I feel slow now! 🐌

[@charlesclark8948]

This is a lot like my gle350 I was wondering why I couldn’t do it this way. Next time I’ll try it your way.

We hope this helps you!

My 2011 450 has three filters yours only had 2

[@abdullahmamun8797]

Nice video. I have a 2010 GL450 and have a clogged AC drain line. Do you know where it is located ? Even my mechanic can’t find it.

[@swamotorsports8818]

So theres 2 different things I've read. One is on an Ml350, which I'm hoping will be a similar location here

And another that I read is between the firewall under the car closer to the passenger side.

It’s under the passenger side floor board
You will see a rubber hose sticking out about 1/4in

[@billmurray3019]

Yo Doug you set the filter the wrong way you Supposed to turn arrow down

[@reesepcpatel14]

I will take a look at it
My oem filters came out facing up because the fan blows upwards but i will check

[@tedlu008]

Air flows downwards because all the dirt are trapped on top of the filters.

[@dexterbarbee8394]

Where do you get the scented sticks that you put into the filter?

[@reesepcpatel14]

Walmart pack of 2 ar $7 but they last a while and do not over power the cabin with smell

[@robertclucas7119]

@@reesepcpatel14 my gf wanted peppermint scented 😬! I had to turn her down on that thought! I tried that before and always had headaches!!

[@reesepcpatel14]

@@robertclucas7119 that’s odd but try it again and soak them in water for 30 minutes it will calm the scent

[@johnfavela3817]

Cool video I like the cheater method . You can't win every thing.
