Installation of 2004 Toyota Avalon cabin filter

How can I get free detailed instruction on installing a cabin filter in a 2004 Toyota Avalon?

  • strengths4 May 18, 2009

    When I tried to remove the rectangular door it was blocked by the plastic structure behind the space where the glove box fits. Does the complete assembly have to be removed and if so how is it removed?

I will be happy to provide you with the instructions.

Open the glove box.

Remove all of the contents.

Observe the right side of the glove box door, you will see a black plastic thing/arm that is connected to a cylindrical device; Remove the arm from the glove box door.

After the arm is disengaged from the glove box door. squeeze the sides of the glove box towards the middle, to defeat the 2 stops that prevent the glove box from falling completely open.

Whilst squeezing the sides of the box inward, lower the glove box door down.

With a flashlight, look into the area behind the glove box. You will see a long rectangular device, this is the door/tray for the cabin air filter. Pull it out, towards you. Once it is out, you will be able to extract the dirty filter, and replace it with a new one.

This entire procedure should take you about 3 minutes. Very easy.

Thanks for choosing FIxYa for assistance. A FIxYa rating (4 blue diamonds) would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Replace cabin filter

The cabin filter is located behind the glove box. Open the glove box and disconnect the retaining rod on the right side, then squeeze the sides of the glove box in order to make it drop down. Behind it you will see the filter cover, just undo the clips holding it in. You will see the filter once the cover is off. Reverse for installation.

Toyota doesn't publish instructions for that. Its checked and installed for free as a courtesy on an oil and filter replacement, at good repair shops. You took it apart, I'm sure you can figure it out. People that aren't auto mechanics, think everything's so simple.
