I could not get the plastic part to fit into my 2000 SE as it did not have on installed. I just set the filter over the fan hole. Anyone else do it this way or am I the only redneck? Is this ok to do? It seems to work ok but I did not know if it could get sucked into the fan...

see the pic... try a ziptie... as far as I know the filter comes separate from the bracket that holds it in...

Is it ok to just sit it in there? Or do i need the bracket? Because I cannot get the bracket to fit. Thanks!

My first one had the bracket that didnt fit right also. I just "layed it in there" and it did work/got dirty. Think its a "fit many applications one" that alot of parts databases show. There actually is a correct filter that drops down it the hole. Here'* a pic for reference

Its Fram Comfortaire Cabin Air Filter, Part # CF8804. Drops right in the hole

The filter and bracket take a bit of talent and luck to get them to fit.

Where'* Pat, he knows the trick to doing this.

you just have to wiggle it in there, it feels like its gonna break then your doing it the correct way..lol

i dont have a bracket, just a big ole hole, this gonna be a problem?

your gonna need that bracket for proper filtering

Well i just have mine sitting in there because I snapped the braket off and it seems to be working great. Anyone have a picture of the filter and the position it needs to be in to fit? Thanks!
