I have search high and low for an installation video for a 2018 GLE 350 cabin air filter replacement. I am sorry if I have somehow overlooked it. I have my glove box almost removed, but before I really pry it out, I want to make sure that the cabin air filter access is behind it. Thank you in advanced.

Must not have searched Google....

Do not attempt to change the inner filters via the cabin. Instead, when you change the outer filter under the hood you will be able to access the two inner filters just behind the outer one. There could be some knuckle scraping involved, so wear light weight gloves.

 

Got it! Thank you! I watched many videos. They did not mention the T30 on the left hand side. I did not want to tear it apart until I knew I did not access from under the hood. I am a bit frazzled from a poor experience at the MB dealership where I requested the filters be changed, and they did not do it.

 

All three (dust + 2 carbon) cabin filters can be changed from under hood with no tools. The procedure is well detailed on the other benz site.

 

BE SURE to purchase charcoal filters that have two round holes punched in the side of the filter element. Mahle has these, but several brands do not. These holes go over two pins that protrude from the passenger side housing. When removing the original filters, take out the driver side first, then slide the passenger side toward the driver side to clear the two protruding pins, then lift out. You'll see what I mean when you remove the passenger side filter.

Also, if you remove the panel under the glove box to do it from the inside, be aware that one of the four little screws is a different size, and getting them mixed up can result in screws mysteriously appearing on the floormat a few days later.

 

If you can still access it from the engine bay it would be allot easier. I have done it on my 2016.
