A/C Smells

Hello everyone I have a 2006 MCS I just purchased with about 23500 miles. I had the AC filter changed but it still smells, any ideas. Thank you, Michael.

go to your dealrship buy a micro filter. open your pass door, look under the foot well. take something like a key or preferably a pick and open the hatch remove the old micro filter and install the new one the same way it went out.

if the smell stays toss a couple of your favorite air fresheners on top of the filter.
