You just helped a 58 year old woman change her air filter. Thank you!!!
That's awesome! You should be proud of yourself for tackling the job and knocking it out! Thank you for watching, Michelle!
Something about this comment made me smile. Thank you for sharing that information
This gives me hope!! Lol
I just watched 3 other videos on this exact operation, and this is the only one that takes the time to give the details to do this job more easily. The lighting is also much better. Excellent teaching!
Thank you for watching, Ray!
Hey guys! Anyone with difficulty wrestling out the side stop tabs, I figured out on mine you can push against the back side (from inside the glovebox) so the entire back portion will bow outward enough for both the stop pins to come out. Give it a try!! And thank you for this video Dennis!
Thanks for the tip, Daniel! And thanks for watching!
Thank you this definitely worked
YESSS thank you so much for your awesome tip! 🙏💞
You're the best! Other videos failed to account for filters with air flow. Yours made it clear how to properly install the filter!
Thank you very much! I appreciate you watching!
I just replaced it after 10 years, thanks to your excellent video. The challenge was to squeeze the glove compartment hard enough to bring it down. It was like boxing inside the glove compartment with a Samurai warrior. I hope the Toyota engineers heed my words and make it simpler.
Thanks for watching! I totally agree!! That glovebox will beat you up when trying to get it to release!
Thank you for solving the mystery of "Up" vs "Air Flow (Down)" marked on different filters on the market - very helpful!
Thanks for watching!
i just acquired an 07 camry and your videos have helped me a lot! i just changed the headlights and fog lights with your video playing in the background so i didnt miss any steps. thanks for the awesome, detailed videos!
Thank you for watching, Ryan! I'm glad these have helped you!
Thank you!!! Did it myself thanks to you. 44yrs old & certainly no mechanic 😂🎉
Great job, Robyn! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for posting this. After watching, I feel very confident changing mine this weekend 😀
That's great! thanks for watching Tam!
Your instructions are spot on.
There are three variations: 1. Some filters have up arrows, 2. Some have air flow arrows & 3. Some have arrows but don't mention air flow or up. The good rule to follow is that all air filter arrows indicate air flow direction UNLESS it says "UP" next to the arrows.
Thanks for watching, Steven! I appreciate your tips and agree completely! Thanks.
Seeing your channel for the first time today.Very detailed instructions and information,so you know I had to subscribe,I have a 07 Camry.
Thank you for watching and also for the sub!!
Thank you for this video! This will help me replace the cabin filter on my 2007 Camry!
Great! Thanks for watching, Adalwolf!
Thank you , I replaced my filter easy, not paying the mechanic to do at an overpriced amount.👍
Fantastic! Thanks for watching, Valisha!
Many thanks for this great step by step tutorial!
Thank you very much for watching!
Just did this "operation" and the steps were simple, but it took me a while. The glove box pins are really hard to get out, same with the video, once I had one out and tried the other one, the first one would go back in. I had to try really hard to "break" it out. Then when re-installing it, the "hinge" at the bottom of the glove box neeeds to be inlined in order for it to work properly. I could see why some dealers would charge quite a bit of money for this, but thank god for this tutorial, otherwise, it would've been an even more stressful installment for me.
Thank you for watching, Karlen! I agree...this little job can make a person fuss while doing it! Glad you got it done and the video helped.
Thank you so much!! You explained everything so well and I was able to do this myself!!
Thank you for watching, Jules!
Thanks for the info. It’s very well explained and detailed.
Thank you for watching! I appreciate it!
Thanks for the instructions video and I could be able to replace my cabin air filter; however after done I think you don’t even have to open the gloves box. I think you can just reach it directly since there is a pretty big gap when you fully open the gloves box. Thanks again
Very good! Our Camry is a 2009, and I can't get the filter out without letting the glove box all the way down by removing the support. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@dwcoffey l0l009
@@dwcoffey I have an 07 camry and just replaced it by just opening the glove box and reaching behind it, it was a slightly tight fit to get it out with just my hands but I don't have small hands. Finished the job with no tools in less than a minute. Great video though, thanks!
Great video. In details. Helped someone like me who has no idea. Thank you
Wonderful! Thanks for watching, Tenzin!
Thanks do much for this video! I changed it myself with it :) ladies if you're not strong enough use your tools!
Thank you very much for watching, Aurora! That's awesome that you got it done yourself! That's right, get those tools out! :)
Thank you. Way better than the other videos on this.
Thank you for watching, Frank!
This was a great tutorial. Thank you
Thank you very much Emily. I appreciate you watching!
Love your videos! I learn how to do so many things on my Camry thanks to you, Dennis.
Thank you Peter. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Yeah I’ve learned how to replace lights and all kinds of stuff, I just bought a 2010 Camry with 50k miles. This is gonna be a breeze replacing, never woulda guessed it was in the glovebox. His videos are the best!!!
FAntastic, wish I'd seen it before I learnt it all the hard way.
Thank you for watching! I hope you got through filter change ok!
Hey thanks for this video, had no idea about this filter!
Thank you for watching!
Hey just wanted to stop and say thanks!
These glove boxes are no joke to remove
You are not kidding! They'll pinch you in a heartbeat. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for the video. By follwing your steps in the video I can replace my cabin filter. Otherwise I don't know how to locate and replace the filter.
Thank you for watching, Le!
Great Job Mr. Coffey! Thank You.
Thank you for watching, David!
Thank you for the helpful video instruction. I will try to do it by myself this time :)
Thanks for watching! To me, the hardest part is messing with the damper on the glove box.
@@dwcoffey I did it today, thanks very much Dennis. You are right about the damper, I was worried about breaking them while I was doing it. It took my 30 minutes but it will be quicker next time. Thanks again.
Thank for the lesson trying to save money for labor and this would help me a lot Mahalo much
Thank you so much, Divina! I appreciate you watching!
Great tutorial! Thank you.
Thank you very much for watching!
Thank You Sr. Very well explain how to change airfilter cabin. Take care!!
Thank you for watching, Felipe!
Thanks for clarifying the "UP" arrow (up) vs actual "air flow" arrow (down) stamped on cabin air filters on market.
Thanks for watching, Hiroshi! It is odd to me that the factory filter and the after market filters are different, but seems that most or all of them are.
Thanks. Very easy step by step instructions
Thank you very much for watching, Jose!
Very Good Video! Congratulations!
Thank you Azmael! I appreciate you watching!
Dennis, wooo thank you so much for this video. You explained everything with great details as you showed it. Liked 👍 & added you on. Have a beautiful day 🌸
Thanks 👍! I followed every step
Thanks for the easy explanation.
Thank you for watching, Jason!
This is why I gladly pay a mechanic to do this.
Totally understand that! :) Thanks for watching, James!
Thank you it help me and my dad out 👍🏾
That's great, I'm glad it helped! Thanks for watching, Keanu!
Thank you for the video I did not want to go into this blind.
Thank you for watching!
Appreciated! Saved me some time and money on this. Its crazy how expensive mechanics ask for doing something so simple
Thank you for watching, Gruso!
very informative. Thank you Dennis
Thank you for watching!
Thanks. I got the filter changed but realized I’m missing the little door that covers the filter.
Thanks for watching, Osman!

Very helpful. Thanks
Thank you for watching, Abe!
Good video for beginners. Good voice also
Thank you!! I appreciate you watching!
You are amazing. Thank you --SO-- much😄💚
I'm glad this helped! Thanks for watching, Marisa!
Thanks Dennis. What holds the cylinder with the spring on the right side? When I got it disconnected from the pin, the top end of the cylinder came loose, and the whole thing fell out. Can't tell what top end was fastened to; could it be GLUED in?
I see you found the other pin. Glad you got it going!
Dealer charged me $60 to do this, but only once. The "book" talks about taking the whole glove box out/frame out of there to do the job, which might explain the dealer's "flat rate" big charge. The first time I changed the filter myself, I noticed all the screwdriver pry/scratch marks on the glovebox/frame where the Toyota tech just pried the box out of there....Next year, the dealer asked me if I wanted the filter changed, I told them for $60 I can pry the damn glove box out of there myself! As for the stinky smells, I did notice them last year while using the AC in the summer. Toyota talks about spraying some sort of cleaner into the heater/AC box through the drain tube under the car, they also want this spray down through where the cabin air filter is, so I guess I will do that this spring when I change the filter again....
Wow...yea $60 and a scratched up dash....that's ridiculous. I think the smells come from condensation gathering in the bottom of the plenum box and then mildew sets in. I've not had to spray mine out, but sounds like a good idea for the next filter change. Thanks!!
Thank u. Quick and easy to follow
Thanks for watching, Patrick!
@@dwcoffey no thank you. I didn’t wanna pay for an overpriced filter so I bought an oem one and wanted to install it myself. This video made it super easy and reminded me to clean out my glove compartment lol
LOL!, That's the worst part about this job....I always think I can do it without spilling the glovebox contents. haha. They always end up all over the floor board and I hate how much stuff is in there.
Omg yes I did it thanks alot for the video as a single female they were trying to charge too much for something that took me less than 5 mins to do lol
Great job!! Thanks for watching!
Dope! Thanks
Thank you for watching!
Thank you 🙌🏾
Thank you for watching!
Having a hard time getting that cover out. Yours is popping right out, but mine just won't budge on either side. Any suggestion?
Thanks for watching! You could try grabbing the release tab on the right side with a pair of needle nose pliers and pulling. Be careful, as the cover and tab are plastic and could break, but maybe that will give you enough pull to get it to release.
You said the new filter should be inserted with the arrow pointing down. It appeared that the old filter you took out had the arrow pointing up. The 2007 Toyota Camry owner's manual states "when inserting the filter in the filter outlet, keep the arrow pointing up."
Thanks for watching, Gary! Some filters will show the air flow direction (the new filter) and some will just have an arrow on the that says "up." The filter I removed. I have found that most replacement filters show the air flow direction....since the air flows from the top fresh air intake to the blower below, that arrow should point down. Hope that helps!
@Gary
There is a difference between an up arrow and an air flow arrow. What on earth reason do you have for thinking the air flows up?
Here's another video which should convince you.
th-cam.com/video/utz0qI6_i9M/w-d-xo.html
And remember, those instructions in the owner's manual are for installing an OEM Toyota filter, not an after market filter. Toyota filters say up on them. That is simply telling you which side goes up. It has nothing to do with air flow.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for watching, Saroj!
Had a new cabin filter replacement but A/C still smells bad. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks for watching, Renate! I would remove the cover and the filter and check inside the air box behind the filter for any debris or accumulated water, etc. There may be something in the airbox that is making it smell bad. I advise wearing gloves when you do this.
Thank you👍🙏🏻
Thank you for watching, Linh!
Excellent!

Hattsss off to you !!

Thank you sir
Thank you for watching, Larry!
(Sorry, just found the OTHER split pin at the top, holding the spring cylinder!)
Glad you found it! Thanks for watching, Howard!
@@dwcoffey Thanks Dennis; you had by far the clearest and most comprehensive video out there on this!
Thanks. I can't wait to take it out, because I think it's really blocking my air flow. I will not be putting a new one in. We lived all these years without one, so I am returning to a simpler time. I'm freeing my car from wearing a facemask (filter ) during these Covid times.
Thank you for watching, Dee! LOL! The only problem with not using a filter is that debris will get into your fan blower and then get blown in the cabin when ever using vents, AC or heat. So.....if you go through a dusty area, or a lot of bugs, etc.....the dust and/or bugs for example, will end up blowing into the cabin thru the AC or heat vents.
@@dwcoffey Thanks for the info. I like critters, so i'll go with the bugs lol.
@@deejohnson5163
If a mouse builds a nest inside your blower you might think differently.
My damper keeps coming off from the inside. I can never get both sides of the damper hooked at the same time after replacing the filter. It's off to the mechanic again. Is there another pin on the inside that I'm missing? Thanks
Thanks for watching, Dan. Make sure your filter is completely seated into the back of the filter cavity. It might be sticking out just a touch too far and preventing the cover from latching on both sides.
@@dwcoffey Thanks.
Thanks dad
I'm so glad this helped!! Thanks for watching, Chicky!
My compartment won't pop out! The right side won't squeeze in! I even tried to use a hammer! Won't work...what do I do?
Thanks for watching, Daron! I've never had one that wouldn't open, so I'm not 100% sure what to do.....maybe try going around the edges with a screwdriver and see if you can get an edge to pop loose.
Tq.. boss 👌👌👌
Thanks for watching!
So I went to change mine. And there wasn't a filter in there , nor was the latch . Just a big empty space 😣
Sounds like somebody removed it and didn't replace it. Google 'Camry cabin filter cover' and you'll find them available for $8-$15. You should be able to slide a filter in, pop in the cover and be good to go. Thanks for watching, Lily!
Can’t believe dealerships charge $100s to do this 😅
Thank you for watching!
❤
Thank you for watching!
Very helpful. Now what if the stupid mechanic took the damper off at the wrong end and threw away the spare parts?
Yea, that's not good. You might be able to find replacement parts online . If not, try the parts counter at your local Toyota dealer.
My damper on my Avalon was loose when I unscrewed it. It just fell out! Have no idea how it goes back in. Thinking maybe the people at the service center may have broke it when I told them I'll replace the filter myself when they told me they wanted $40 to do it for me! Oh well...don't really need it anyway!
Make the stupid mechanic pay for it. I'll bet that's cheaper for him than going to small claims court.
Good video (except for the made in China part).
Thank you for watching! I agree....can't hardly find filters made in the US anymore.
I've retracted the two plastic clips on the sides of the cover, but I can't get the cover off. I've used a pair of pliers to try to pull the cover off, but I can't get it off. I guess the filter has not been change in ten years, so it's probably stuck. Any suggestions?
I found out how to do it. I was pushing the two tabs outwards, instead of inwards, towards the center of the filter.
Glad you got it figured out! Thanks for watching, Ralph!
I looked at your video and changed the cabin air filter. That thin black plastic cover slipped from my fingers while trying to replace it. It fell into the filter housing. I can feel it but the space is tight and I can't get it out. Help?
Yea, that's a tough one. I'd remove the filter element to get more room. If that won't do it, can you get a vacuum attachment down in there, maybe the vacuum will hold it enough to get your fingers on it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try it. I think your video explained it best but I had watched others. No one ever mentioned dropping that black plastic cover into the filter housing as a possibility. I did not see that coming. Thanks for your videos and your suggestions.
INCORRECT! The airflow is from bottom to top, i.e. external dirty air comes from the bottom, the top of the filter is actually exposed to the interior of the car and you can see the top of the filter if you remove the stereo console in the center...
No sir, please check the diagram on the ventilation system. Camry's are typical of most Toyotas, the filter is between the fresh air intake (from above) and the blower motor, which pulls air from above, into the system. The topside of the filter is exposed to the fresh air intake, therefore the air flow is from top to bottom.
@@dwcoffey You are right Dennis, I am sorry I was misinformed, after dismantling the dash I noticed that the top of the filter is visible only when RECIRC is on, when set to fresh air, there is a duct that closes on top admitting fresh air to the top and the filter gets dirty on top confirming you are right and airflow is top to bottom.
No worries, Alexei! That's what I love about youtube....its a good place for all of us to learn. Thanks for watching, sir!
