Cabin filter: Design/shape change from OEM?

[Pianewman]

SC just changed my cabin filters. I asked if there was a change in material to avoid the odor that so many have complained about.

Advisor claims the replacement cabin filters are a different shape/thickness, and are no longer pressing up against the condensor, so the tendency to create odor is eliminated.

Can anyone confirm this? They didn't keep the old filters out of my car, so I have no way of comparing.

Interesting. Can you post the part number for this redesigned cabin filter from your SC invoice?

Sorry, not yet. They replaced them w/o my knowledge, didn't charge me, so no invoice. I'll ask and post when I get the number.

The most updated part number is 1107681-00-C. They are grey on one side.

The original part number was 1107681-00-A. They have a yellow color on one side.

I cannot confirm a difference in thickness.
