Howdy Folks, I got to looking for a replacement cabin air filter for the 2008 Volvo XC90 & saw they were $24 for a Premium Guard at Oreilly's Auto. While online browsing I noticed K&N offers these cabin filter. Sweet! Apparently they've been for about a decade now. Better late than never? 
I thought since I've seen my cabin filter get crumpled up & smashed crooked trying to get them back into their location on my vehicles why not get the K&N wire backing that should eliminate deformation & it does. It didn't deform at all while installing it & the wire backing keeps it all uniform. $35.99+Tax & free shipping from Summit Racing. Being washable I'd see a payback after only two years (two cleanings). I will need to buy their "Refresher Kit" spray bottles though when it comes time to clean it. This part number fits several different Volvo's.
No more deformation!
