Replaced Cabin Air Filter - Pics of New Filter
Its has been about two to three years since I changed the filter (???) and I will change it more often now. After seeing it I would think all cars should have one. The 02 Supercrew is a Low miles truck with 22k on it now.
Note: All the debris show on the mat came from the filter as I pulled it down, I wonder if long term this helps keep the core from rusting out.
The picture in the next message is the now dirty filter when it was new.

F65Z-19871-AA Cover bracket "A"
F65Z-19871-BA Cover bracket "B"
W701696-S421 Bracket mounting screw
N605758-S58 Cover mounting bolt
The cover and brackets ARE the same numbers included in the F65Z-18D477-AA Cabin air filter kit, which was obsoleted long ago. The screws and bolts are NOT the same as what came in the kit. Because Ford decided not to assign part numbers for the screws and bolts in the kit, I had to find suitable, albeit not exact, replacements.
Installation: Under the dash, below the glove box area, you will see a trapezoid shaped cover held in place by three screws. Remove the screws and cover to reveal the pre-fabbed duct work.
The brackets come tapped with 4MM holes. I searched the dealers hardware bins for 4MM bolts with either built-in or captured washers, but could find none. I opted to go up a size to 5MM bolts with built-in washers. To use these, you will need to drill the existing holes out with an 11/64 bit, and re-tap the holes to 5 X 0.8MM. Very easy, took about twenty minutes to do.
Looking upward from the floorboard, you'll see a blockoff plate that's molded into the ductwork. It's approx. 1 X 9" (going from memory here). Cut the blockoff plate out.
Using the W701696-S421 screws, mount the brackets to their respective bosses.
Here's where it gets a little tricky. Holding the cover in place, thread one or more of the N605758-S58 bolts in, JUST ENOUGH to feel the bolt give resistance. Back it out one turn, and take note of how much clearance is between the cover and the bolt's washer. This is how much the bolt needs to be trimmed by cutting/filing/grinding, or however you choose to make the bolt shorter.
**Added: You can bypass the custom work of re-tapping holes, and trimming bolts, by locating 4mm bolts of the correct pitch and length. It helps to have one of the brackets with you.**
Once you've finished trimming the bolts, get yourself a cabin filter

It's located in the ductwork under the dash below the glove box. Look at pic 2 from post 1. Above the ratchet.
