Picked one up at Wal-Mart for $18.98 + tax . Installed it in their parking lot in under 5 minutes . Hopefully will be able to reuse it for awhile by vacuuming out the pleats of the top side with a crevice tool . Seemed to go in easier when put to the recycle air setting . Thanks NOOK . Here are some pics .

I haven't looked for these filters at Walmart .. but I know in Canada they are heavily advertised by Canadian Tire (I generally hate Canadian Tire .. but I am warming up to them in my old age).
I think that my filter is fine in my Yaris .. otherwise the Toyota dealer would have been right after me to buy a new one. Hasn't happened yet .. so I think I am probably good. |

I think it's where the door is that directs air flow . Not sure if it's supposed to be open like that . Wonder if someone else could get a picture of it for comparison . , . The TOYOTA charcoal cabin filter is over $30 if I remember correctly .

It's plausible that yours might be different re you having a sedan, except toward the beginning of this thread I looked at BailOut's DIY and Bailout's Yaris has what I called 'the contraption' in that slot (just like your Yaris) except that he doesn't have that honeycomb cage over 'the contraption' like you do, BUT he does have the same year and model I do. I'm just wondering what 'the contraption' is because it seems to me that BailOut's Yaris (being same year same model as mine) should either be without 'the contraption' (like my yaris) or that my Yaris should have 'the contraption'. Since my Yaris isn't malfunctioning, I probably shouldn't be fishing for a problem/issue, but it just bugs me. That lower glove box had never been removed before the cabin air filter install. A parts person at a Toyota dealer could probably shed some light on the situation re the diagrams they can pull up on their screen. I'll post what I happen to find out.

Took pics of the opening . It's for air flow within the cabin when set to RECYCLE . Hope this puts you at ease .

Thanks so much! The pic and the red letter commentary pull the whole thing together. Even though (as you can see on the pic of that area in my Yaris) I don't have 'the contraption' in my Yaris, the functions you describe still work perfectly in my car, so I won't worry about it at all. Perhaps they used different parts that perform the same function. I know that even though BailOut has the same model I do, the plastic in that area in his Yaris is a different color than in mine. Thanks again!

We never used a cabin air filter until purchasing an '08 Yaris . Will keep using one since it catches small debri from getting into the blower and housing . May also deter a mouse or chipmonk from getting in the housing for storage . Have had issues with critters in the past . Found nuts and seeds in past vehicles owned and had to remove blower to get it out . Sound was like that of a Russian roulette wheel when turning on the fan . The '11 FIT got invaded and found seeds ( pine ) , most likley a chipmunk or red squirrel . Luckily it didn't chew through the filter .

Oh wait, I guess more closely related would be having 2 or so cars where the grill between the back of the hood and the windshield left spaces that were too big and having to park under trees let leaves get into that system in those cars. |

Got my oil changed today and the guys said I didn't have a cabin air filter, which lead me to finding this thread. I've driven without a cabin air filter in my Yaris for the 62,000 miles I've owned the car out of the 112,000 miles on it. Should I prepare to clean some part of my car that has become a "cesspool" with lysol or something before installing one? Might help my allergies I figure.
