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

$50.00 $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.

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?

How does the moisture barrier clip stop the smell?

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.

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.
