Automotive Cabin Air Filter PA5657
The Baldwin Filters PA5657 is a rectangular cabin air filter element designed for automotive heating and cooling systems. It fits vehicles that require a filter with these exact overall dimensions. The unit is supplied new and ready for installation.
Replaces Factory Cabin Filter Element
This element replaces a worn or clogged original cabin filter to restore airflow through the HVAC system. The jump is worth it when the old filter restricts blower output or allows dust and pollen into the passenger compartment. A fresh element protects system components and improves interior air quality.
Rectangular Panel Size Constraints
The filter measures 9-17/32 inches wide by 2-3/16 inches high by 29-29/32 inches long. It only fits housings that accept this specific rectangular footprint. Vehicles needing a different length, width, height or pleat count cannot use this element.
