Time and Effort

Time: 5-10 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Process

Tip: It’s best to be parked where you can comfortably open your passenger side door wide

Empty Glove Compartment

  • Take the stuff out of the glove compartment

Lower the Compartment

Remove Stop Arm

  • With the glove compartment open, look to the right side and locate the stop arm. Use a finger to pull it until it pops off
POP!

Press the Tabs

  • Then press the tabs on either side of the glove compartment to unhook the box
Tabs on either side
Close-up

  • It will swing downwards. Just leave it there. It doesn’t need to come out.

Note: If you didn’t unload the contents, everything gets dumped on the floor…

Open the Filter Cover

  • On either side of the uppermost, solid plastic, rectangular door are 2 tabs that keep it in place. Push aside (outwards) the plastic tabs until both sides free from the little tab. Be careful not to break anything!!

Hint: you may need to push aside any impeding wiring bundles.

The right was easy, but the left required two hands: one to push, and one to pull the filter door down

Here’s a close up of the left-side tab from my 2023 Mach-E. The wiring bundle butts up against the tab, making it difficult to remove. The 2024 was much easier without the wiring in the way as much

  • Push up or aside any wayward wiring bundles and reach your fingers (or a plastic pry tool) up and around the two sky-facing tabs. Pull carefully down to open the door

Warning: Be careful of the metal frame! It’s sharp!

Remove Old Filter

  • There it is! Just reach in, pull out the old air filter, and note the direction of the airflow arrow
Ta Da!

Place New Filter

  • Compared to the Motorcraft filter, the Purolator is much stiffer. Just position and slide it in

All Steps in Reverse

  • Close the filter door and press until you hear/feel the click on both sides

  • Pull the glove compartment back up into position until the side tabs click into place
  • Replace the stop arm on the side of the compartment by just giving it a nice push
Position
PUSH!
Boom!

  • Put your stuff back in

All done!

YOU DID IT! Super easy, AND you saved yourself some money!

How to Fold a Simple Baby Doll Stroller (with Pictures)

written 10/27/2025, updated 10/27/2025

What

Step by Step guide with pictures for folding collapsible, simple strollers, whether for baby doll toys or kids

Why

I found it super difficult to do the first time and couldn’t find much help on the internet quickly

Process

Step 1 – Undo Side Stops

Locate the stop mechanism on either side of the middle of the stroller (there’s no need to remove the fabric seat), and lift up to release the stopper

Step 2 – Release the Crossbar

Find the crossbar on the back side near the wheels, and lift up

Step 3 – Collapse the Stroller

This is the main mechanism of collapsing the stroller. What you’re going to do is press in on the joint in the middle of either side (see 1st picture below) creating inward and downward force at the same time. Make sure none of the stops have fallen back down!

Note: If you encounter resistance from the stroller (especially if this is the first time folding it), you may need to apply some more force. I had to lightly pound either side with my fist to make it go. *BE CAREFUL* and mind of your fingers!!

I found it easier to flip the stroller upside down so it wouldn’t slide on me so much

All Done!
