Cabin air filter

I have a 14 and I had changed the cabin filter a yr. ago but think I put it in wrong. First does it follow the tracks in the hole that make it go up on a angle or some how lay flat. Second does the arrow go for air flow, facing up or facing down. I have look at different u tube and still can't get it right. Thanks Frank

Yes there is a slight angle when filter goes in. You can see that by looking at the old filter which became slightly bent in time from the angle

I just found a schematic and on the 14 it does go back up on a angle. Thanks for the help

I went with the boring OEM option, but pick me up a stripper glitter scented one if you find it.

And, just exactly what does glitter smell like?

I have used this Fram in both of my C7's and they work great, fit exactly the same as OEM...

My vert needed it changed BADLY, I don't think the previous owner even knew it had a cabin filter....

Fram FreshBreeze is typically my preferred, but I may try K&N's reusable next.

Is the scent mild or overpowering?

and to be clear...:I was looking for a scented air filter that was mild and fresh if such a thing existed
