Subaru 72880FG000 Cabin Air Filter STi Crosstrek Impreza Forester WRX - Genuine OEM

OEM cabin air filter arrived in sealed OEM box. New filter fit perfectly. Just ordered a backup from same seller.

This replacement filter was identical to the original filter it replaced on my Subaru Forester Touring model.Any difficulty I had in replacing the filter was not due to the filter but was related to the relatively annoying difficulty with gaining access to the cavity where the original filter is located. Once access was achieved, the replacement was effected was ease.

I had no problems installing it and it appears to be working fine.

I was very pleased with this filter! Great deal and I am very happy that it is very easy to install and that it was a Subaru filter not some off brand! I appreciate that Some Subaru dealers also do business here on Amazon! Great for, great deal and easy to install!!

Exact replica, fit perfect. Used in a 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5 There are a couple You Tube videos on install which is behind the glove box, which is dropped down by removing the side lanyard and squeezing the box to allow tabs to be released... Total time of replacement ... 5 minutes .... removing the old one may require a pair of pliers to grip the tabs on the filter... mine had been in since the car was built so the pliers helped un-stick the dried foam seal. 7 years of dirt and debris were caught in the old filter, I now have improved ventilation thru the dash vents. Is paying extra for the OEM? I'd say yes after reading comments about the aftermarket filters.

Products came promptly and as expected

I was happy to see that these are, in fact, actual, genuine SUBARU filters. Fit perfectly in my 2011 Forester. If this is your first time replacing your a/c filter (or cabin air filter, depending on which reference you look at) please know that it does involve a bit of "man-handling" to 1) get the glove box to drop down out of the way and 2) to maneuver the filter out of the blower housing. You open the glove box, pop off the glove box dampener (located on the right side on mine), then you have to force the two sides of the rear of the glove box passed the plastic that makes up the rest of the dash. The glove box uses floating hinges so it will actually come off completely without any tools. The filter itself just pulls out using four small finger tabs located on the face of the filter tray. I kind of had to twist the filter tray to the left and down to wiggle it passed the dash plastic and out of the blower housing. Installation is just the reverse of all that. Takes five minutes at most but, as I said, expect to feel like you're sort of breaking something trying to get the glove box to drop down. I'd give these filters five stars if the price was a little lower. I'm pretty sure I replaced my filter this time last year so, as you can see in the photo, it's certainly a good idea to stick to the manufacturer's recommendation on this one.

Good
