How do you change the cabin air filter in a 2004 Toyota Avalon?

Answer 1

1. Open the glove box and squeeze the sides together to open it further. There may be a motion damper on the right side of the glove box that makes it open slowly. This is difficult to remove and replace. When you open the glove box beyond it's normal operating range of motion. You will be able to see the white plastic filter holder behind.

2. Remove screw around the opening of the glove box. I believe there are 2 at the top and 2 on the bottom.

3. You can pry the plastic cover down slightly so you can get to the filter holder. Push in the tab and pull the holder out like a drawer. remove it completely and install a new filter in the holder.

4. Install everything back the way it was and go for a drive.
