So Im doing all the regular maintance on the vehicle this week that has ever needed to be done up to this point assuming its never been done before. So today was tranny fluid (didnt happen), oil, and air / cabin filter.

Go to pull out the cabin air filter.....

Looks like I had someone trying to make a home in my air duct. S/He's not there anymore, and as much of the air passageway has been cleaned w/ a vac...

Didnt find any droppings, so it doesnt look like they were there for long, just a quick possible overnight attempt?

 

dude u sicko! u killed a litter of kittens!

 

I live in So-Cal, I just changed my filter at approx 20k miles. Mine was still in super good condition. I see everybody elses and they look tore. I guess since I rarely ever used my HVAC I'm good.

 

Man I have seen nests and loads of leaves and stuff come out of some peoples microfilters. It's amazing how much crap they can trap in there.

 

dang, i remeber a while back a guy posted on the forums and he had like 3 nests in it hahaha and a mouse

 

LMFao how do they get in there

 

They crawl.

 

lol i remember some one else had a similar problem ... i wanna check mine now to make sure

 

Rookie question, but someone have a pic to show where the filter is located?

 

Behind your glove compartment. You need to remove a side moulding, then the glove compartment to get to it. 10 minute install.
