I know this was made 5 years ago but I'm grateful to have come across this now. I have a 2007 Toyota and the more I can do myself the happier I am. I went to the shop yesterday for a check and was told $40 for a clean filter! It didn't sound right. Now I'm glad I waited! Im actually looking forward to doing this myself. I love being able to take of my own problems. I pride myself on it.
Awesome, I'm glad you found the video and I'm sure you will get it done! Always feels good when you accomplish something new!! Let me know how it turns out!
Pride goeth before the fall
Thank you so much for sharing! They wanted me to pay $60.00 at a Tire Kingdom for the filter and the job!
Thank you for watching!
wt? they're probably using a good quality air filter, plus they wont do it for free my friend, its a repair shop and they pay utility bills, taxes, workers, etc 💀🔫😥😍😪😭😅😎👀👮🏼👭🤷🏼💩😵👎🏽😷🤔
Simple job, even a caveman can do it! Lol
Thank you ! They wanted to charge 65 for this and I am too broke for that. So glad I could go buy one and easily change it myself. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for watching! Glad you got it done yourself.
Thank you for the tutorial. Can't believe the shop was going to charge me 35 bucks for installation.
glad it helped you out!
toyota tryna charge me nearly $60 im dead
They gotta charge you something
'Thankyou' my friend .......'very grateful'
Just replaced on my Toyota Corolla 2003 today. Great directions. And for my car the arrow should definitely be pointed down per instructions of manufacturer of filter. Thanks for great video!
Thanks for the quick, clear and informative video. Just changed my cabin filter in less than 5 minutes! - from SoCal
Rachel Martin glad you got it fixed yourself!
Great video. Much more helpful than the 90 second video I watched from a parts company.
Thanks so much for your video! It was an excellent tutorial! Gave me the confidence to buy my own cabin air filter for $8 and got the job done in under 5 minutes. Firestone was going to charge me $55 (!!!) parts and labor for this. Thank you so much!
Awesome. Glad you got it done. Thank you for watching!
Thanks Todd! Perfect description on the whole thing. Going to change it this afternoon :)
Thanks Todd: I just done my Toyota Corolla CE 2007 according to your instructions & all came out perfect, (note: The old filter looked that it was never changed it even had some leaf n dirty dirty; I bought mine from Amazon to replace original part at a cost of $12.87, ( there were other cheaper ) once again Thanks Man you saved me a few bucks, now I can breath better... muck obliged.
Super clear explanation, with a second person operating the camera, which lets you see everything. Great video!
Thank you for watching. My wife is the pro camera person!
Many thanks! Great audio/video with clear and concise directions. Saved myself $60 at the repair shop!
Glad to hear that. Thank you!
Thank u I did it less then 10mins I love ❤️ TH-cam you get to learn a lot and don’t need people to steel your money I’m an old woman 👵 but still can handle myself 😬
Glad you got it done yourself!
Thank u it really helps I don’t want no one to take me for a ride I rather do it myself thanks again 😊👌
I like this. There are a lot of good points you make.
Great vid. I appreciate your simple and deliberate presentation. Easy for a mechanically-challenged, slow-witted knucklehead like myself to understand.
G&K Ol' School haha glad you got it!
excellent video. Very nice of this dude to show this. Dealer wants 39.95+tax+shop supplies - $50 - unbelievable
Thank you for the feedback!
You just saved me $50, counting the price of the part. Thank you so much.
Another giving a shout out and a Big Thank you. It seems like when a woman walks into a dealership or goes to a mechanic the price triples.
Great directions-subscribing now!
Thanks for the feedback and the subscribe. The price on dealerships doing these is crazy!
WOW Thank you had a very bad smell in the car .So i followed your advice diid it my self. Found out thanks to you a mouse had made a nest on top of the cabin air filter ,...Very bad smell....Replaced and now all is good . thank you thank you thank you ..
Thank you so much for putting this together. I tried to find if my car had one in my manual...no help. I popped it out and it was filthy. Easy out easy in. Thanks again.
have you done a vid for changing oil and filter???
Thank you for putting it so simple and concise. Managed to change mine in few minutes.
Awesome. Thank you for watching!

Excellent video, thanks for the detail regarding the air flow. Only video where someone explained the airflow
Great, helpful vid. Thanks!
Thanks for showing this. It was very helpful!!
Thank you for video. Detailed and precise. Dealer wants to rip off for this simple replacement.
victoria2371 glad it went well for you! i agree is super easy and they want to charge a premium for it.
how HARD do you have to pinch the sides?: my hands are not super strong and I have to do all my own repairs.
grettagrids just a little bit of pressure. The pieces that hold it in place are not to thick so it doesn't need to be pinched in to far. good luck and i hope you can get it. let me know how it goes.
Automotive parts are a lot harder to break so dont be afraid to put a bit of force to them.
Spacelion This is all plastic. Every clip in this year's Corolla is extremely easy to break. First-hand experience from swapping the radio.
Thank you! That was so helpful. My oil change place wanted about $45 to do this.
Thanks for the video, even though it's pretty straightforward and might seem obvious to some people.
My new Corteco filter came with instructions that said the air flow is from down to up and thus the filter would be upside down. It makes no sense though, since the old filter was dirty on top side, and I checked the flow direction by turning on the blower fan. Such a simple job but could've gone wrong if I just blindly followed the written instructions haha, cheers 👏
Just changed mine, it was absolutely clogged and totally disgusting. I kept thinking something was wrong with the AC / blower and never realized it was this simple solution. Changed the filter and it was like a miracle.
I park under a tree and my filter was so clogged to
Thanks for video! And greeting from Lithuania!
Tomas Puodziukynas thank you. Glad you liked the video. Hope all is well over there in Lithuania.
Thanks for this video. Very helpful!!!
Great video, my AC is working 1000x better!!! Thank you!
Thank you for your video. I need to change it. Toyota serive wants to charge me 88 plus tax. So Thanks for saving me 70 bucks 🙏
Very Well explained.
Good Vid, keep em coming.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the video. I had to make sure of the direction of the air flow.
Thanks for watching, I appriciate it!
Thank you helping me with this! Got it done today with your help. 😁

Thanks I have 2005 Toyota Corolla.
Thanks for the great video bud! I've done this with my jetta in past. Just took parents car for quick oil change. They looked at cabin filter and was a nest for a mouse! Lol,. Anyway they wanted to replace it for 55 to 60.00!!!! I said thanks but noooo I'll get it. So thanks again! Keep up the great vids 😀
Thanks for watching! Crazy about the mice nest. I've heard about that happening before.
Thank you brother
You can totally do the job without removing the screw on the glove compartment. I just did it thanks again!!
Want to elaborate on how?
Thank you very much for this great video! Cheers
Thanks Todd
My auto dealer wanted to charge $70.00 for this! I bought one online for $15.00 and did it myself.
I change mine every year, the engine filter to, I won't bring my car to the garage for easy stuff because that's easy money for them :)

Nice Video
Than you for sharing, I bought mine at repco and cost me $ 34, down under.
Thanks for Watching! Hope all is well down under!
Lol a mechanic wanted to charge me $60 to change the cabin air filter in my 2006 Corolla.. so I decided to try this tutorial instead 😆
Thanks for this. Not sure why the filter I got has the arrow pointing up when the writing is in the right orientation. Maybe the arrow just says which side is up not the air flow. It is clear that the airflow is down. The old filter had tons of leaves on the top side.
Thanks again.
Good job
Thank you appriciate the feedback!
Excellent
Thanks for watching!
Can you share the link for your audio system you have in this car. Thanks
thanks for this. what's the common part no. for the filter for a 2006 Corolla (which is what I have)? 3040? want to save a trip or phone call to the auto parts store. thanks again.
Fantastic video! Quite useful. One note I would add is when replacing the glove box, I had to do a "pop" on the top rim to get the lower clips to seat properly. Thanks very much for creating this video.
BTW the reason I was looking into this is because of mice. It seems this is an area mice can get into your car and build a nest. Nasty!
Thanks for watching, too bad about why you were replacing it.
That was great and very helpful, Todd ! Thank you for making it look so easy. I have gotten conflicting info on 1999 Corollas in that they are not supposed to have Cabin Air Filters ? What do you know about this ?
I unfortunately dont know about that year. Let me know if you find out anything definitive on it.
Hi, I just bought a 2001 Corolla :) - I looked for the screw on side of glove compartment but couldnt find one, and found one source online that said they only started putting in cabin filters in the Corolla from year 2003 onwards. So, looks like we may not have to worry about it :)
Great vid. correct me if im wrong, but i believe the airflow is from bottom to top.
+Darren L it may vary in different years and models but mine is top to bottom.
Correct. Airflow is from bottom to top
No dirty air comes in the top and that is obvious from the dirt that collects on top of the filter. It's not rocket science.
All horizontally mounted cabin air filters with the blower motor mounted below the filter have downward air flow.
OK I bought a new cabin air filter for my mothers car.. stinks when the AC is on and NO air getting to the passenger side.. I suppose I better clean the ducts too?
Arrow pointing UP. Corolla 2008 manual, pg 164.
i get this question or statement every so often and i understand how it can be confusing. The arrow on this filter and most aftetmarket filters should be pointed down because the arrow is indicating air flow direction. On the factory version of this air filter they just put an arrow and the owners manual says to install up, they wanted to make it simple for people that are not mechanics. So unfortunately there is no one answer for this. It depends on your air filter and whether the arrow is indicating installation direction or air flow direction. Thanks for the comment.
Toyota's OEM cabin air filter has an arrow that says up next to it. Toyota does not give you instructions on how to install other brands of cabin air filters. They give you instructions on how to install only Toyota brand filters
Up means up. Air flow arrows should point down. You don't have to be college educated to figure this out. Dirty incoming air enters the top of the filter and that's why dirt collects on the top of the filter. It's not rocket science.
Thank you! Midas wanted $70 for this today. I'm glad I refused.
1000th like
Thanks for watching and liking the video!
@@ToddsGarage Thanks for helping me figure out how to change the filter
Awesome how often does it need to be changed
The manufacturer recommendations vary from year make and model but I inspect mine often usually at every oil change and replace as needed. Thanks for watching!
Do you really need to take out the screw? I feel that by keeping the glove compartment dangling you should be able to access the air filter. Need to try it out though. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! You might be at risk for breaking the hydraulic arm if you do it that way. Removal of the screw is fast and easy.
Yeah. Not paying $35 for the shop to do it. Plus, I appreciate the AC/DC shirt so \m/!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video. It is confusing that some filter marking shows up only and some air flow direction.
Ya for sure it is! I think the majority aftermarket ones show airflow.
I'm glad that I watched your video....a different joker insists that the arrow points UP in his video !!! Sad : (
The original one had the arrow facing up and it said UP. I'm guessing they meant the direction it was supposed to be installed in and not the airflow. The new one says airflow and had to go facing down.
Up arrows should point up (no brainier). Air flow arrows should point down.
i never re-hook up the hydrophilic don't need it, one less thing you have to unhook, next time you change the filter
Thanks for watching, appriciate the feedback!
Hey, I'm confused about the airflow! I watched your video a couple of years ago, and put the arrow pointing down. When I took it to Toyota they replaced it, and the new one had the arrow facing up....so i looked at the manual and it said arrow should be up. Just bought another one to replace it, and now I'm not sure what to do..... Mine is a 2006 Corolla.
Thanks for returning and watching again. I have a video where I explain that!! Thanks again for watching! th-cam.com/video/JhYBruW4KUY/w-d-xo.html
