DIY Cabin filter and windshield wiper blades replacement

[lukine]

After doing some research regarding windshield wiper blade replacements, it appears that the
Bosch Icon 24OE-20OE | Set will work for the front.

And the rear wiper replacement is the Bosch A381H.

The links above are from a Canadian online retailer, but I'm sure there are lots more retailers selling from the US for those living in the USA.

I'll be ordering a set to try after my trip at the end of the month. Will update on whether it fits well or not then.

I also ordered the PUREFLOW® PC6071HX cabin filter. Hopefully they all work

Keep us posted on the air filter and the steps. I do it on the Taycan but since I do not have the Macan EV (yet), I cannot make the step by step guide.

I spoke with Bosch and confirmed with the Bosch website as well, and A381H indeed fits the Macan Electric. It's a 15" blade.

An alternative wiper blade the Bosch rep gave me is the AM38H which comes with more adapters so it can fit a wider variety of cars. @Scotsman58 perhaps you can try this one?

I got the same information from Bosch (from their website, not from speaking to anyone) about the A381H, and so ordered one -- but I could not get it to fit on the rear wiper of my 2024 Macan 4. If you go back and look at the thread where I originally posted that it wouldn't fit, you will see some other comments to the effect that Porsche apparently changed the design of the wiper connector on the Macan EVs and there is no non-OEM option.

Which is why I thought maybe the AM38H could work as it comes with more adapters. The A381H only has one adapter.

Well, maybe, but I for one am going to wait until I get some definitive fit information before I order any more Bosch rear wipers. I could always get an OEM Porsche rear wiper but don't think that would be any improvement over the not-very-worn but yet quite squeaky and ineffective original wiper on my car.

Anyone know how to disconnect this? I got as far as this but can’t pull this connector out.

okay managed to pull it out, but the side snapped

Now I am not sure how to remove the cover. Do I need to unscrew something? Because watching the video for the Taycan, he didn’t seem to need unscrewing anything and I can’t see what tab he removed. Everything seems tight and doesn’t come out easily. @pm4s

^Looks like a snap off cover like in the Taycan.

SergeyIndy in the post above circled the tabs, carefully release them (don't snap them off) and cover will come right off, there is nothing to unscrew, looks to be near similar to the Taycan.
Don't worry about snapping the connector, it's just the footwell light, and you can't see it once it's back on, it will hold fine.

Pull down snap? I'm scared to break it

 

[lukine]

I managed to snap it off. It is pull down. But now. This side panel is in the way. I don’t remember Taycan video or ICE macan having this panel in the way. Not sure how to remove this. Don’t want to pull to hard and break it accidentally.

Alright I finally got it opened. Just pull the flap out from the cutout in the back.

Here is what the filter looks like. So the filter PureFlow HEPA Cabin Air Filter PC6071HX would not fit it. It's shaped differently. The stock filter is MAHLE SP856002. Or maybe it's 85E.819.439.B.

Now I just gotta find an alternate 3rd party filter to replace it with.
