Thanks John. Helped me heaps. The one I just bought seemed to have a cardboard surround. I took off the cardboard but the seal wasn’t good so I stuck it back on with tape. I think next time I’ll try and keep the cardboard on. Just noting that for anyone else doing the same thing.
Not that i am aware of, as the filter as fitted in new vehicles does not include the paper element filter, just the metal mesh tray. If I did not mention the part number in this video there is another one I did on the same subject.
I looked that the first video I did about this filter ( Location/removal ) and unfortunately I did not cover the removal of the clove box itself however I seem to recall that it had a damper rod on the side, and when they was unclipped the glovebox just dropped down and pulled away from the pivot points. You may have a different type but I have found (from other vehicles) that squeezing from the middle of the softer plastic at the back part, pulls the sides in and allows it to drop down. It was a friends vehicle and I do not have access to it at the moment.
The one i bought was a Wesfil WACF0194 cabin air filter........ If you order it online make sure that it is the cabin/pollen filter as for some reason there is a transmission filter with the same part number. It has a split in the middle so that it can fold.
I did two videos so that everyone could see that it is possible. I seem to recall that I was holding the camera while trying to install the filter in one video, which was not a smart move.

Yes, mine had a rigid frame around the paper element, with a cutout in the middle for the folding action.
Thanks for the video! Is there a Genuine Toyota part number for this filter?

Did you just squeeze the sides of the glove box to remove it ?
