Great movie... favorite quote.
sorry, thread was getting back on topic, trying to derail it.

Thank you, I needed that.

I had a hard time finding the right thickness foam at the time I was lookiing. I eventually ended up buying the pre-cut package from Roverparts along with other items I ordered for something like $17 if I remember correctly..

ok so this thread looks like it is fun to post on so I will join in, so if I always keep my recirculate button on will replacing that filter make much of a difference for me?

and Phil, is the picture with Texas on it to show off your roof rack or your shiny new ladder?

The roof rack and the fact that a 195k Rover can make the 2400+ mile trip with no problems.

Thumbs up

Great tech post!

I was just looking at my pollen filter the other day and wondering why AB was charging $18 for the pre-cut pieces. And even with inflation (based on the price tag on your original picture; it is $3.49 at my HD) the HD product is much less expensive. Dang, even the most expensive "high-end" material HD offers is half the price of the "Genuine" parts.

I'll be adding a stop to my local HD on my weekend Rover maintenance "stuff" run.

Btw, I also have a Swingline, but it is basic black; not as cool as yours.

And Office Space rules! I am a software guy, and I used to live in the bay area, so I totally identify with that movie. The opening scene with the traffic jam was a daily reality for me for 5 years. I also felt like beating the crap out of few printers back in those days.

You will have enough filter left over to last the rest of the trucks life too.

Indeed I will!

My local HD did not have the exact product you used, but they had a nice sheet of this stuff:



I paid $8 and used barely 2 inches on one side. The thickness is almost the same as the original material, so I didn't need to break out my Swingline.

Here is the finished job:



The original material disintegrated in my hands, so it was obviously time to replace it:

Chris, how did you attach the filter media?
