Hopefully it will be a snug fit.


edit:

I installed this last night and it fits perfectly. I was going to do the DIY filter but we live in a hot environment and I had concerns about the duct tape melting. With having to replace the filter only every 10,000 miles it should be easy to go to NAPA whenever i need one.
Thanks for the part number, good for all of us to know so members can obtain one with less hassle if so desired. The 3rd gen car now includes the cabin air filter from the factory, at least for the U.S. market. I would guess that Toyota did this re all the issues caused by leaving the housing empty from the factory in the past.

Smoking in the car almost have no effect on the cabin filter unless you run recirculate all the time. Even then, the smoke doesn't get that much from the passenger side.

Also, the cabin filter is supposed to be changed every 10k miles or 1 year.

is the space above the filter opening always open.
It looks to me like it is sealed when the glove box is closed. there is a felt like padding on the back of the glovebox

The little white left clip on the filter tray cover snapped off when I removed it, but it seems to go back in place.

I got my 2008 Yaris Sedan new with 29 miles. It didn't come with a cabin filter. I now have 301,000 miles. Replaced the fan motor once, napkins got sucked into it another time, and today I had to endure the pain of removing it because of ONE leaf.

If i would have had a filter it would have stopped the leaf. Now having seen this thread I'm going to look into getting a filter in there.

Btw, trash (leaves, etc...) will plug the ac drain. I had to use my Rainbow vacuum cleaner to suck out the trash thru the outside drain hose.

All of this could have been avoided if I'd known about this year's ago with all the miles I've put on her!

Mine was no filter also. Not sure if it was factory or dealership at fault.

My 2007 came with no cabin filter. Directly from the Toyota factory.
I would not count on the dealer selling the car to me actually put one in. They probably would be happy to sell me and charge to install one
