Saw my cabin filter yesterday and i almost puked!
I'm guessing if i get a new one it should take away the rat piss smell. Can anyone link me to one for my 1992 pickup or one for another car that will fit mine. I searched the web and couldn't find one.

Thanks-Blake

 

probley a dealer part

 

I didn't know we had one...

 

hmm doesnt look like there is any, i checked toyota diy and no part number

 

What about a part store like napa or autozone or advanced?

 

x2 - would be nice

 

Really? Hmmm thats interesting. I must be looking at the wrong thing. The filter I'm looking at is next to the blower. Thats the cabin filter right??

 

You sure thats not the heater core...? Isnt the cabin filter outside by the wipers?

 

old trucks did not have a cabin filter.

 

I think he might be reffering two the filter/foam thats over the fan motor.

 

Thats it. My mistake i thought that was the cabin filter. Does anyone know where i can get a new one?

Thanks

 

Thats just the flapper, it doesnt really filter it does it?
just get a vacum and a air compressor and clean it up

 

Like mines so old and brittle if i do that it will just get blown to pieces.

 

Dealer then.

 

I was fix'n to say, cabin filter? on a 92 PU?

lol

 

that thing simply moves when you select fresh air or recirculate.

+1 on cleaning it up.

 

There is no filter that foam stuff is just there to help make a good "air tight" seal on the flapper... if it is old and falling apart you can always scrape it off and replace it with several strips of foam weather seal... it comes in several thicknesses , you should be able to get a matching one... avail at Home depot/lowes very cheaply too... just an idea...

 

would a 1997 4runner have a cabin filter?

 

no cabin filter, newer vehicles that i have seen have them mounted behind the glove box.

 

Thanks I'll look in to this.
