Do they still have discount codes or free shipping? I can't seem to figure out where to put my discount code? I think I have a 5% off.EasyCompany251 wrote: ↑ I've used a Bosch HEPA filter before. Not much difference that I noticed.
While you're at this with RockAuto, pick up some windshield wipers as well.
I buy the Bosch ones myself. I like the "hospital smell" they give off when they are new, lol. Some people specifically dislike them for that reason, but either way it goes away in a short time. I can't say that they are any better or worse than other ones but then again who can really say any is better than nothing? lol I'm sure being HEPA rated it's good for something but given a car environment is one with windows and huge doors, compared to the airspace in the vehicle, cabin air filters have always been of questionable functionality to me.
The 5% codes are generic and can be used over and over. I think they do expire after some months but you can use any recent code you find on the intarwebs including here on RFD where tons of people post them. Never make an RA order without using the 5%. I've never seen any free shipping to Canada on RA, ever though.
That's not surprising. They should last 10 years at least. RFDers are crazy folks that go through these crutches like crazy (and drink wiper fluid like their life depended on it), but really if you use wipers properly (which is basically very seldom, with treated glass), and have a garage to put the car in (so less UV damage), a decade plus is what you should be getting.
Yes that's how the shipping works on RA-you have to fool with it to minimise warehouse locations as the part costs can be deceiving--if a cheaper part has to ship out of another warehouse, the shipping can make it more expensive than a more expensive part located in the same warehouse as your other part(s).
I'm blind, I just can't see where to put the 5% off code. I have the code. Help please?ES_Revenge wrote: ↑

Try this one:
Ohh crap sorry I totally read that wrong, didn't realise he didn't know where to put the code. Yep that would cover it!funky_monkey_99 wrote: ↑ You place the code in the box labelled "How Did You Hear About Us?". Should see the discount on the summary screen.

I tend to avoid made in China charcoal filters after huge fiasco with medicak masks recall because of carbon particles in lungs ( big recall Canada wide last spring).
How well do they seal around the edges, so that the air is forced to go through the filter instead of around the sides?
I cut to exact same size as stock, have not notice any issues with seal, if you are worried just change it more often since it cost so little. I change mine quarterly the same time I change the furnace filter. If it's good enough for my house it's good enough for the car, lol.
I guess it depends on how the seal around the sides of the filter works; some might have a supportive plastic frame, but the main concern is that air leaks around the sides of the filter media and it doesn't end up filtering much of the air that it's supposed to be filtering.
