Some places are starting to carry Fresh Breeze filters, I've heard Wally World some place had them, Meijer in my town carries them. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the part number (CF10370) for our Mustangs so I ordered mine from Amazon.com. Only took a few days to get it.

That's about how mine looked. But more importantly, you and I need to talk about those rods and reels. BIG bass fisherman, here! LOL!

Nobody had any real live bait in stock, so catching anything of decent size was prolly out of the question lol still fun though! saw one lady catch a blue that was ok though

Yea, the clip closest to the pass side fender is a biatch.
The new and improved water leak prevention clips have
heat activated sealing glue on them.
No more fighting the loosing battle of the clips.
Once you install them and heat the adhesive,
they are in there for the duration and one less
leak point to worry about.
The first step in replacing the cabin air filter should be:
1. Go get the new improved cowl clips from the Stealership.
2. Obtain a new cabin air filter.

Did ya cut open the fuel filter to see the gunk levels or just toss
it in the trash? I would like to see some pics of fuel filter internals
with various amounts of mileage on them.

I cut open my oil filters to observe just what they trap
and how my MAGFILTER is working to trap magnetic particals.
The filter never has seemed too awful dirty.

If I think of it tomorrow, I'll pull it out of the trash and cut it, IF I can find my hacksaw. Most of my tools are buried in a storage unit with only a select few here at my g/f's place. But I think there's one handy. I'll post a few pics (I just wrote a sticky note. the mind goes to chit after 50...).

After I had posted that the fuel came out of the filter crystal clear, I pulled it out of the trash and double checked, being sure to pour out of the end that led to the TANK this time . It was slightly brown.

Nuke, it seems like plenty of people are changing these at the same time. I had bought my cabin filter with my fuel filter, just never got around to changing the cabin filter .
