Water Leaking into car!

[otterhere]

I, too, check the maintenance schedule and have seen NOTHING about changing the a/c filter; if it has to be done, why not list it there? Ugh, this car! BTW, my auto body guy says the ill-fitting interior parts of the door (which he fixed on the spot) have nothing to do with what looks like "water marks" all over the dash and doors; it's almost "mottled."

Any ideas???

The AC filter change interval really depends on how much you use the blower and how clean the air is around you. It is probably worth checking every 3 to 6 months, but if it still looks clean it really doesn't need to be replaced. The one in my 09 I have only changed twice since I bought the car in October of 2008 and both times it really wasn't bad. In comparison, the new project Yaris that I recently acquired lived in the New York City area and the cabin air filter that I pulled out of it was literally black and nearly plugged up.
