At least the door is there, I'm not sure if the filter itself is installed. It began with later 2016 production.

Did this mod today. PITA. Could not get the door to snap in place on the left side for nothing. No matter how hard I pushed or bent the tab inward. Finally said the hell with it and duck taped it

Haha I did the same thing and it lasted 12 hours before my OCD took over. I could not figure out why it would not snap on there. But if you take a smallish screw driver or something similar and stick it back next to the left tab, after you have the right tab snapped on, you can push the left tab onto the post and it will snap on there. Think the opposite of prying it off. I was angry with my self for how easy that was and not figuring it out in the first place.

Just completed this while I had the glove boxes out for 8.4/4-7 speed fan conversion. Guess I was lucky, the door popped right on. I'm surprised no one has mentioned that you have to scrunch the filter up some to get it in due to limited space on the right hand side. Glad I put in the rubber bordered K&N instead of a paper filter. Did noticeably cut air flow.

Just ordered the door and filter. For less than $30 this is a great mod!

Just saw quietpeen's pics, going to have to re-look under there. What the hell is up with the retractor thing on the glove box. Thing is annoying.

My 2017 has the door and filter installed...

It's about time RAM finally stepped up to the plate....could never understand why everything was there but couldn't add a $5 part so the cab wouldn't be a dust pit.... Also Genos Garage sells a CAB filter kit that bolts on under wipers and hood and covers the vents where all in coming air enters cab. I have purchased a few years ago and buy replaceable filters and change them yearly...it really helps along with the blower motor filter. My cab stays nice and clean and low dust on dash. Really helps with pollen too! Highly recommend them....they were designed for semi trucks.

?But do you think there is a reason why they skipped out on the air filter?

Can you post a picture of what it looks like with the hood closed?

Do you know if it's possible to order the geno's garage kit, in Canada ?

I was ready to order a kit and a replacement filter kit for 70$ and then saw a 75 $ shipping quote.

So in CAD it's about 200$ .that's crazy
