Did I install in cabin air filter wrong ?

The official instructions read "The filter is installed so that the arrow, on the end of the filter, is facing the rear of the vehicle and is pointed upward." [1]

I bought a MicronAir filter. If I install it with arrow pointing up, the text on the filter (ex. "AIR FLOW") is upside down.

Looking at the picture, did I install it wrong ? Is it worth changing or just leave it like this ? I installed it 2 month ago. Sorry about the blurry picture.

Thanks!

The arrow should always be pointing in the direction of the airflow. Sorry, I can't see your pic bc I'm on my phone.

No smell, just want to have it installed the right way.

Ok I just saw the pic. You're good. It's installed correctly. Those filters are just like your ac filters in your house. The arrow points toward the direction of airflow. Which you did.

Yes, the airflow is down -> up. If you look at it; where would the air go if it were the opposite? Lol your good man.
