Take your time on install, use a new blade while installing and follow the directions carefully.
I installed this on my 2007 Chevy Silverado Z71. The filter quality is excellent, and the functionality will help keep the outside air filtered. This is well worth the money IMO.

Very hard to install
OMG, installation was awful.Spoiler alert: My 2013 Tahoe, which I bought in 2015, DIDN'T HAVE A CABIN AIR FILTER installed during assembly of the vehicle at Chevy! The plastic housing which should have contained an air filter is sealed with no access and no filter. The instructions call it a "molded-in cabin air filtered access panel". It looked as if somewhere in the assembly line an access opening should have been cut out, a filter inserted and the closing cover (as seen in the photo on Amazon) screwed in placed. Don't buy just the filter alone. It needs the closing cover.SO: what you are going to do, if you dare, is to 1) access the area under the glove box where the you need to work, 2) cut open the part that will become an opening to the filter housing, and 3) find out that there is no filter to "replace" and put the filter in and install the air filter cover plate. Sounds easy, right? Not.Note: if you don' have a lot of tools, don't bother. Also, this job is such a b**ch that if you take it to your Chevy dealer to replace, I would bet that they will probably do the routine of "let's don't and say we did". If you want a mechanic to do it, remove the "right side insulator panel" and point to the area that needs to be fixed and say you want to check his work. Heck, I would even supply him with the filter and cover plate!First, you remove the "right side insulator panel" to access the air filter non-opening. It is easy to unscrew the screw on the right side and center. The screw on the left side is impossible to access. It is in front of the center console and a few inches above that hump in the vehicle where the transmission is. I don't see how they screwed it in without a special tool. You can either work with this panel flapping in your way (I found this to be impossible), or you can take some tin snips and cut the panel around the left screw and clear your work area (that is what I did after an hour or so of working around the flapping panel.).Next: (per instructions): "locate the groove around the molded-in cabin air filter access panel". Then the hard part: "carefully cut out the molded-in cabin air filter access panel using a suitable tool". No suggestions were included as to what a "suitable tool" is. I ultimately used a Dremel tool with two of those round, brown side cutting attachments mounted together. I used this to cut small openings where indicated on the long sides of the opening. (I put two of the round cutting attachments on together so that the opening they made would accommodate the width of a hack saw blade.) I put on some leather gloves and used the bare hacksaw blade to cut the length of the opening indicated on both sides. This wasn't too bad, but it was a long tedious process of trying different "unsuitable tools" until I found some barely suitable tools. I used the Dremel tool to cut out the two short ends.Last: clean up the opening you have made with a box cutter (with a fresh blade). There will be a lot of burrs and debris left from your labors (unless you happen to have a laser that can cut through plastic). Then, SURPRISE! There is no air filter in the space where there should have been a filter! You have been breathing unfiltered air all this time! Thanks a lot Chevy.Placing the air filter and the cover plate was the easy part. Just flex it in to place and place the cover plate on.I hope if you want to try this, my review will help you have a better experience than I had.

Fairly easy install
Upgrade your 07-14 GMC or Chevy 1500 with an A/C filter, it makes a difference.

What a difference!
If your vehicle is like mine....GM left the spot for a filter but did not include one. It took a little work to remove the fake plate that is in place from the factory, but once done this slides right in and your finished. I suggest a sharp xacto knife and small blow torch to heat it and cut out the fake factory plate. Also, clean out the box before you install the filter....there was all kinds of dust balls ect in mine....just showing what I had been breathing without the filter. Made a instant difference for me and the cabin smells fresher all the time. Worth the small amount of effort for the price and results!

Worked perfect.
Great value and build quality. It fits as described, and allows you to add air filtration to the years of Tahoe that didn't allow it.

Great quality filter
Great filter. Quality seemed great and did not break when I bent it to slide it into the slot like the one I purchased before. This filter was a little higher in price but we'll worthbit! I definitely recommend the cabin filter and this seller!
