I finally completed the air filter cabin mod. The filter was $20 from Advance Auto and they had to order it. I went to Oreily's Auto Parts and they had a filter in stock for $10 bucks! I took one pic with the filter number and a pic of the cover installed. Next question I know the cover Air flow points down but is that really the direction of the air flow? I was curious for the filter placement.

Sorry the pic isnt better. I was trying to hold the filter number in place at the same time.

Si, Air goes from the cowl through the filter to the blower motor.
Makes sense anywho. Someday I'll buy the filter. I have the door at home.

Damn I really need to do this. I am really annoyed that Chrysler wouldn't include this when they build it. My truck's MSRP was just under $50k, so it is a really bad reflection on CG that they don't include something so simple yet effective and beneficial to the ownership experience.

Where's the best place to buy the door from? I really gotta do this especially with all of the pollen as of late.

I did this mod to my truck only a couple months back and the filter is already filthy. All the way thru. Tried to knock dust out of it and didn't get squat out of it. I work in really dusty area all the time and this proves to me that this is a very much needed mod to do. I have also noticed my dash and interior doesn't get quite as dirty as fast as it used to.

I did a google search it was like asp autoparts.com or something like that 12 bucks. There is another thread here I'm DIY with the part number you need. Find it then google it

I did mine a few weeks ago. The carpet knife slipped a few times, but I didn't do any major damage :). I bought the door on ebay, and the filter from Napa ($13). I drove to 2 auto parts stores prior, and none had it in stock.

my filter had an arrow on it pointing to the direction of the air flow. May want to flip the filter and see if that helps.
