BOSCH 6026C HEPA Cabin Air Filter - Compatible with Select Toyota Corolla, Matrix

Easily installed in my 04 Corolla S; local mechanic wanted $70 to do the job using a lower quality and Non-HEPA filter; I picked this one up on here and saved a bunch of money and it only took about 20 mins to install. the only tool needed was a Phillips head screwdriver Simple steps to follow for Corolla replacement (might apply to other models compatible with this filter as well) 1- Open glove compartment and locate on the right side of the OPENED glove compartment a connecting rod held on by a single screw. 2- While bracing the bottom of the glove compartment with one hand, unscrew the Phillips-head screw joining the glove compartment to the connecting rod. 3- Still bracing the compartment, give a slight outward pull to the connecting rod if it didn't detach while the screw was taken out 4- once connecting rod is disengaged, lift up glove compartment with the hand bracing it and pull it towards the seat thus removing it completely 5- locate the cabin air filter which is right behind the glove compartment location (look for a left and right push-style hinge/clasp and undo those hinges which will release the filter cover) 6- once cover is removed, proceed to remove old air filter and any excess build up if any is present 7- insert new filter with text-side facing out towards the seat 8- replace the cover making sure it clicks on both sides 9- lift glove compartment into original place and slide/push the connecting rod back onto the glove compartment 10- screw the single screw back in to hold glove compartment to the connecting rod and DONE! breathe fresh air and save yourself a gas tank fill-up (or two) worth of money!

Works and fits properly.

Replaced old filter in about ten minutes as filter was the correct size for a cost of about ten dollars. The dealer wanted about $50 dollars.

Works. Good deal!! Easy to install!

en epoca de pandemia que mejor que un filtro HEPA. Es una marca muy conocida, funciona perfectamente. El unico inconveniente que le encuentro es que por su alto filtrado de particulados HEPA reduce grandemente el flujo del aire atravez de los ductos, por lo cual el ponerlo en la posicion maxima se siente como si estuviera en el # 2 como con un filtro no HEPA. Por lo cual generalmente anteriormente con el pasado filtro no HEPA utilizaba mi undad en el #2 y ahora la mayoria del tiempo tengo que tenerla entre 3 y maximo. Pero prefiero perder un poco de fuerza en el viento y tener un filtor HEPA en epocas de pandemia. solo que alargo plazo el ventilador sufrira mas y se gastara mas. En el aspecto de el frio no varia, solo se afecta el volumen (flujo) del viento que sale por los ductos. Solo por esa razon no brindo las 5 estrellas.

It's fits really good. Will be buying again

Installed to 2005 Toyota Matrix. This same model# cabin air filter is used in the Corolla and some other Toyotas. As other reviewers have noted, this HEPA air filter is noticeably more restricive than standard cabin air filters, but it is much better at filtering out smoke. You can't drive through heavy smoke and have pristine air in your car with this filter, but it makes those hazy smoky burn your nose days tolerable, for me anyway. I haven't had to wear an N95 mask in the car since installing this filter. Well worth what it costs if you are sensitive to smoke and are dealing with widespread wildfires in your area. It is all synthetic material, no paper, and should be washable and reuseable.

The air filter seemed new and clean, very easy to install. No way should it take the 24 minutes the instructions say
