I’m really curious myself. Please let us know how it works.
I have the problem basically solved on my car by hardly if ever using the recirculate setting.
It seems like it separates the filter from the frame holding it to prevent water wicking up the filter but wouldn’t that allow some air to bypass he filters?

The plastic clip blocks moisture from blowing against that location on the side of filter body and developing that funk. It's not so much dependent on the slight lift from the clip.

I will print one out and give it a try

Good chance to test it out this weekend with the incoming storm. Looking forward to hear your results.

@whisperingshad how has it been, especially with this crazy weather we’ve been getting?

At 15:18 of the video titled “This design flaw makes Tesla’s Model 3 smell bad with fixes” he explains this doesn’t affect 2023 Model Y, and why.

So far with my 3d printed version of this I haven’t had any issues yet. A lot of rain but not much hot days but so far no issues. I will update later. I will say that the 3d printer version is a tight fit and I had to trim the wings a little to get it to fit over my filter.

too soon to tell

I got my clip but I am thinking about installing a HEPA aftermarket filter. The one with the honeycomb at the rear with carbon beads.
Does anyone know if the clip works on these too?

Does it only work OEM style filters? As in pleated paper filters as opposed to the foam edged type with activated charcoal granules

FYI after the rains, then a few days of heat the stink was back, but seems to have gone away? Will check in again once its stays warm(also wife driving it last 2 weeks)
