Cabin Air Filter Moisture Barrier Clip (Bad Smell Fix) for Tesla Model Y and 3

$55.00
Bundle

After extensive testing, YouTuber Adam Davenport found that a plastic clip on the bottom of the Tesla Model 3 or Model Y cabin air filter helps keep moisture from saturating the filter and causing that foul rotten egg/vinegar/moldy/cheesy/feet smell! You can read more about how we fixed the bad smell in our personal Teslas here, but the TL;DR version is that evaporator cleaner and new filters get rid of the smelly bacteria and the clip acts as a moisture barrier to keep it from coming back.

Filters are high quality, and the moisture barrier clip successfully addresses odor issues. Mixed feedback on instruction clarity.

The filters are weirdly tinted and the printed instructions are horrible

The filters are weirdly tinted and the printed instructions are horrible. You should make an instructional video and put it on Utube.

The package was well packed.Despite application of the eva cleaning foam, the smell does not go off. I will buy more famous product and do the procedure again.

The moisture clip install sucks

The moisture clip install is not the best. You cannot put it on the bottom of the filter and then push it through the hole. You need to drop it into the cavity and flip it around until it is centered and facing up. Otherwise the overall install went very well. I did not have any issues getting the filters out/in and the supplied tools worked well. The foam was more than enough to fill the cavity and then some. I was unable to use all of it.

A real fix to the problem.

This clip provides the solution to the bad smell from the air intake system. It allows air to flow under the filters to dry the channel leading to the drain. I will even add height to the clip creating slightly more air flow.

Easy enough

So far it has done the job of what it said it was going to do - removed the nasty odor from our Tesla. The written instructions that came with it were not clear enough for me to follow, however the video to install was very thorough and filled in the gaps for me.

Great kit

Kit came with everything to clean and replace the filters. Filters look open and behave as such. Hopefully the clip does the trick.

The Clip seems good. Wish they would also sell the WIX microban filters too.

Clip seems to do well! It's looks like that youtube engineer guy recommends using the microban WIX filters along with the plastic clip. So an option to buy the WIX microban filters would be nice!

Right tools, right solution

Bought two of these kits, one for the Model 3 and one for the Model Y. The tools were helpful, the filters matched the OEM original filters and the clip was easy to install. We are grateful that the vinegar-like smell is gone and don’t expect it back.

Seems to have fixed the odor

Had some Oder right after turning on the ac. Cleaned the heat exchanger, replaced the filters with these ones and added that orange clip and so far no Odor

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Tesla smell like rotten eggs?

The bottom filter absorbs moisture that should be draining out of the car. Once the filters are wet, it's the perfect place for smelly bacteria to grow. You can read more about how we fixed the Tesla AC smell here.

How does the moisture barrier clip stop the smell?

When installed in just the right place on the bottom AC cabin air filter on the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, a moisture barrier clip blocks moisture from condensation from wetting the filter which stops bacteria from growing and making bad smells.

Do I have to replace the filters and clean the evaporator?

If you already have the bad smell, it's best to clean the housing and replace the filters to start fresh by removing as much bacteria from the system as possible.

If you don't have the smell yet, you can install just the clip on your current filters as a preventive measure.

Are the replacement filters the same as the OEM filters?

They use an equivalent filter material and activated carbon that is very similar to the OEM filters supplied by Tesla.

Is the moisture barrier clip compatible with HEPA filters?

The moisture barrier clip is designed to fit OEM-spec filters only. It will not fit most HEPA filters.
