This is the aFe POWER Carbon Cabin Air Filter, part 35-10020C. The manufacturer's listing describes it as a carbon cabin filter that clean[s] the air entering through the ventilation system of your vehicle by reducing impurities such as dust, soot and pollen. Owners on user forums say a cabin filter that is not replaced regularly can get dirty quickly, and some switch to charcoal-type filters to clear musty odors. Cheap aftermarket filters are a different risk: owners on user forums report some budget options did not seat well and whistled at higher fan speeds, so fit matters as much as price. Confirm fitment for your model year with the manufacturer before ordering, as the listed Dodge Durango years vary across sources (the manufacturer's page lists Durango 11-26, while this product title says 11-22).
Fitment is listed by the manufacturer for the Jeep Grand Cherokee 11-21, Dodge Durango 11-26, and its specifications state that the Filter Included Yes and Coupler Included Yes. Searches for this part usually include terms such as WK2 Grand Cherokee cabin filter, glovebox cabin air filter, and activated carbon HVAC filter. For the DIY side, owners on user forums describe the filter sitting behind the glove box, where you will have to push in the 2 side tabs on the sides of the compartment. Owners also report that it is not necessary to remove the glovebox, just the shelf above. Note the airflow direction when you install it.
Owners on user forums report that the glove box does not need to come out. They release the glove box pins, lower the shelf, and access the filter door from there.
The manufacturer's fitment listing for this part shows Grand Cherokee 11-21 and does not list a 2022 WK2 application. Confirm with the manufacturer before ordering for a 2022 vehicle.
Owners on user forums describe this as a beginner-level job. Push the two side tabs on the glove box to let it drop on its hinges, remove the retainer on the filter housing, and slide the old filter out. Owners say the whole job takes roughly five minutes with no tools. Before sliding in the new filter, check the airflow direction, since one owner noted it works like a furnace filter and must be oriented correctly.
