Hi All - I need some help. I was removing the cabin filter to replace and the tab broke on the cover to where the filters are located. What do I do to fix?

Thanks,
Dave

You can replace the cover with the tab or you can use a screw to hold it in place or you could just tape it shut or etc.... Its all up to you and how much you really care.

If you're talkin' about the tab I'm thinkin' about...

There's a spot you can fit a speednut into and there's already a hole on the cover.

^Speednut.

^Ace, Lowes, Autozone etc... One of those mounting "clips" from a car speaker kit should work too..

These tabs are infamous for snapping off, although mine hasn't . . yet.
I'd just use a screw or duct tape as was mentioned.

Well, just replaced my Cabin filter - Was it ever dirty! Now the air is blowing like crazy.. Anyway, I used a tie strap to close the door and it looks like it will hold fine.

By the way, Went to NAPA and purchased 2 NAPA gold cabin filters - $20 for 2 sets! That is unreal! All NAPA Gold filters are 40% off till the end of the month (Air, Cabin, Oil). What a deal!

On another note, you would think the dealer would have replaced the cabin filter. I purchased the truck used with 16K on it a month ago. Certified used and they said they did a 142 point inspection - I doubt that.. The cabin filter had pine needles, nuts and all kind of crap. They probably didn't even do the 15K service. Makes me mad...

Anyway - Go to NAPA and get those filters, great price.. Thanks guys and have a great weekend!

My dealer didn't replace mine.
Bought my truck with 11,xxx miles on it and changed the filters at 19,xxx and they looked like this:
