Thanks the airflow direction piece (2:01) was essential. With your video, I made this change in under 10 minutes. The box said 24. The last yahoo at the shop had an aftermarket filter going the wrong way, so that is probably why it always stunk in the car. The hardest part for me was popping the face off (1:18) and getting it to sit right on the re-install (2:29). I tried to put it back in without it being at the right angle and the the door could barely reopen. But I fixed it and got the new one in. Thanks!
I love that this is straight to the point. Soooo many videos do needless talking like there needs to be a setup when nah, we just want you to get to the point so we can learn. So thank you for not wasting my time! Clear and concise = liked and subscribed
I've replaced many cabin filters, but the Sienna had me stumped! Then your video showed you pushing in the middle of the glove box to give it more flex, and so the side pegs can clear the stop. Amazing and thank you!
very detail instruction, thanks for the tip of pushing up the the middle of the glove box in order to clear the two side tabs. without this tip, I would not able to swing the glove box down easily
Best installation video out there for cabin air filter replacement! I would have installed the air flow direction incorrectly if it weren’t for you! Great tip on pushing up on the glove compartment too! Appreciate you!
Just wanted to drop a 'thank you' for this video. After all these years I don't know why I paid to my dealer to replace something I could have done myself :D
Excellent video. I very much appreciate the tip on where to press the glove box to get it out. The most beneficial comment was regarding the up arrow and the air flow comment. My replacement filter had the air flow arrow and I installed it with no stress.
this was helpful, I was going by the example in the book and I've done many of these on Fords because I am a technician for Ford. but I kept getting snagged on something, that extra step of pushing "up" in the middle of the glovebox helps. I'm putting a multi-layer cabin air filter in my Sienna because I have pervasive allergies and I also like to spoil my vehicle with "nothing but the best" exception being oil: I use liquimoly (2nd best additive package) instead of amsoil because the difference is 80 dollars including the oil filter or well over 100 dollars if we include ALL filters (I.E: engine, cabin, oil, and the 6.45 quarts needed, always go 6.5 quarts cause that extra .05 ain't going to hurt nothin') I was going to change the transmission filter but determined that to be outside my skill level.
I didn't know this filter existed until i read a fb thread where it was talked about. Now that I've watched your vid I will do this. May also explain why my passenger complained that whwm the heat was on this week (1st time used for 9+ months), the heat air flow on that side wasn't as strong as the driver's side. Thank you.
Has anyone had trouble getting the access door off? I've pulled the clips on both sides and it still won't come off. I've applied some force but I'm afraid I'm gonna break something off.
Yeah mine didn’t want to come off easily either. I wedged a thin flat head screwdriver under the bottom as I pulled back on the tab (one side at a time). Used the screwdriver to lever it out. Had to wiggle and finesse a little but it came off. The filter was super dirty. Probably why the cover was stuck- lots of dirt and grime. Good luck!
I got a K&N air filter with no arrows or airflow printed on side. Anyone know how I determine which side goes up when replacing? Crazy shop charges $200 to do this. 😂
Cabin air filters can do more harm than good. I don't live in a hermetically sealed environment, and I have minor allergies to pollen. I don't have house AC, and I live in a slightly rural area; the windows are often open. In my car, the windows are open as much as possible and are closed only when it's too hot (use AC) or too cold (use the heater). None of my earlier cars had cabin air filters, and I did not have problems. A few decades ago, car manufacturers started installing cabin air filters. These are great, especially if you live in a dusty place or you have moderate to sever allergies, in which case you probably live in a closed environment. The big problem I have with cabin air filters is that car air systems do not properly keep out vermin including deer mice. In my later cars with cabin air filters, the mice love to nest, pee, and poop on top of the cabin air filters. With Hantavirus, this is a dangerous situation. For me, it's better to remove the cabin air filter than to breath Hantaviruses. Of course, I still have to eliminate mice in my cars. Everything I read on either the internet or see on UA-cam is written by folks who sell or replace cabin air filters, so they all say they are great. Nobody I've seen says, "Here are the pros and cons. It's up to you to decide."

Yes, air flow direction was the key, hadn't found it on other videos. Thank you!

That was so helpful! Thank you for such a clear demo and for those tips on pressing up in center and air flow.

Best installation video out there for cabin air filter replacement! I would have installed the air flow direction incorrectly if it weren’t for you! Great tip on pushing up on the glove compartment too! Appreciate you!
Glad it helped!
I finally got ours done today. One that I bought also said "air flow" so I made sure the arrow pointed downwards. Thanks for your help.
You're Welcome!

How did you pull the air filter access door so easy? No matter how hard I pinch it doesn’t come out!!!
Not sure - I've never had issues on these access doors
Very very good 👍
Thanks!
Thank you for this. I did it!
Nice! You're Welcome!
Thank you.
You're Welcome!
Thanks! 🙌🏻

My latch on the right hand side fell off. Is there an easy way to put it back
I can not remove the drawer, guessing the plastic is too rigid in late january in boston. I did it before without much efforts.
Any suggestions on where to buy both cabin and air filters? Dealership is extremely expensive ($65), but not sure which aftermarket product to trust.
I usually just get them from a local auto parts store ( Napa, O'Reilly or Auto Zone) but your cheapest option is probably to order them online.
Dealer wanted 80.00 for engine air and cabin filter change filters a little over 20.00 can be done in less than a minute
Thanks
You're Welcome!
Why do it look like it's hard to pull that clip to release it I was scared to pull it it look like it won't come off
Sometimes they do come off pretty hard.
Thanks.
You’re Welcome!
Mines so TIGHT it's not even coming off. Even bending the backing is hard as hell. I can't believe how NONE standard this is. Thanks.
I want to see how the filter looks like,how to differentiate up and down air flow, that is the most imporant thing missed
Thanks!
You're Welcome!
How often do you need to replace them? Few dealerships told me differently. Some said 30k some said around 10k.
I usually just go off how they look but its generally recommend to replace them about every 15k miles or once a year
@@PYR-Auto Oh no, my van is already close to 30k.... I will need to change them like tomorrow. Thanks.
I got a K&N air filter with no arrows or airflow printed on side. Anyone know how I determine which side goes up when replacing?
