I was able to replace my air filter by following the pictures in the user manual, but the shock absorber came off, and I hadn't paid attention to what it was attached to, so I couldn't tell which of the two loops to use to attach it inside the compartment. Your video is the only one I could find that actually showed which loop to snap where, so thank you for that!
Was having my FREE oil change on my '15 RAV 4 @ Naples Toyota here in Florida and the mechanic showed me the dirty cabin air filter and told me he could put in a new one for $50 plus tax ($53.00). I said no thank you and came home, went on line and bought two new ones plus two new engine air filters for $32.17 delivered. (no tax - free delivery). 3 days later they arrived, I watched your vid and installed them both myself... NO TOOLS! Thanks.... A total savings of $150+
Thanks so much!!! Your video had the clearest visuals for this filter replacement. Feel confident that I can do it myself. (My air flow is fine, but the stealership is pressuring me to change this out along with the engine air filter which I just did myself yesterday. Sometimes it is difficult for them to suggest an additional service on a 7.5 year old, gently used RAV4 with less than 28,000 miles on it. But they are resourceful.) 😍
Very good tutorial. This gal didn't want to pay $39.99 to Toyota shop but I got a little nervous when I told them, "No thanks, I'll do it myself". You made it easy. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I needed to know how to reconnect the piston on the right side of the glove box. I messed around with that for a while and didn't see where to connect it. Now that I watched this video, I'm going out to the RAV right now to fix it. Well done!
Thank you so much. My daughter was watching this video with me and insisted that she can do it. So removed the old one and installed the new one all by herself. Now she is after me for $40. Lol
I just changed mine out following this video. My plunger thingie came out when I unhooked it and it was a breeze to put back on. Saved me a bundle! I would recommend changing it out in the daylight or have a flashlight handy because it's mighty dark in there.
Thank you BossMan! Just dropped mine off at the dealer for ToyotaCare Service at 20,000 miles. I am sitting 2 blocks away waiting because of SOCIAL DISTANCING and they just called to suggest air and cabin filter changes that would hit me up for $139. I declined mostly because I didn't have the money. Then I hit TH-cam and there you were. Looks like I can save myself at least $60 bucks depending on how much these filters cost me online. I am in NY.
Same they are charging me about 121 to change both filters. I was like no thanks. We had just spent 1271 fixing the A/C and replacing the rear brakes. I couldn’t believe that 1000 was just the labor costs alone! Toyota dealers try to rip us off lol. I ordered the filters and will do it myself.
Thank you. Thank you, very much. It was amazing how straight forward this was. You saved me valuable dollars. The cabin filter for my 2005 Rav4 was 19.99 at a major auto parts store - March 2022
I love TH-cam! I changed my filter and the little shock absorber totally came off and I couldn’t figure out where it was supposed to hook onto inside. This video was my answer. Thanks!
My air filter is the original from 2010. I looked int changing it, but I have no instructions for it, not in the owner's manual or in my Haynes auto repair manual. Glad i found your video. I'm scared to see how dirty the old filter will be!
Thank you for this amazing how to video. It really helped this amateur and you showed me how easy it really is. I will never have to go to a auto shop again when I need to change that filter again.
Thanks. This video worked fine for a 2018 RAV4 too. The top suggested video doesn't show how to take out the glove box. Useless. Apparently the oil change place didn't reattach the damper (shock absorber thingie) so I was able to fix it correctly. My filter was $7 free shipping from CA on eBay.
I can't believe how easy that was. I've had the replacement filter sitting around in the back of the car for months now because I thought it was going to require a bunch of tools to remove the glove box. I had it changed out in under five minutes. I know I haven't changed this out for the past 9 years I've owned my RAV4.
Glad to help! Maybe I start a GoFundMe page where I ask for a quarter everytime someone saves loot! LOL> I could fund my next camera. Glad this is helpful.
Great video! I feel very confident in my ability to change the cabin air filter on my 2012 RAV4 now. WAAAAAAAY better than paying some shop $50 to do it. I'll get the filter and change it this weekend!
Perfect. Thanks. Helped me fix my glove compartment that wouldn't stay closed. The mechanic had replaced the air filter, but not reinstalled the compartment door quite right.
Great video. Paid $40 today to have this done because a rodent got into my filter, and tore it up. Suspiciously, the one they showed me looked exactly like the one they showed me 5000 miles ago for my last oil change. Next time, I check my cabin air filter before the next oil change.
Perfect. Air flow arrows point down as they would on any horizontally mounted cabin air filter with the blower motor mounted below the filter. If your filter says up next to the arrow, that's telling you which side goes up and is not indicating air flow direction.
Thank you sooooo much! I watched another video that explained everything, but the little shocker feel with it and I thought I broke it! Thank you for explaining it all!
Thank you for this video. I ran into the same exact issue with my shock absorber in the glove box. Everything worked out great and I saved money doing it myself.
My problem was that the glove box wouldn't close - seemed like something was behind it / blocking it from closing. I took the glove box out using your video, and the cover for the cabin filter had come off and was indeed blocking the glove box. I put the cabin filer cover back on, put the glove box back in, and everything works fine. Thanks much!
Thanks for sharing. For the life of me I couldn't find the damn knob for the upper portion of the shock absorber! Mine s black so it all blends in. Thanks again!
I change the in-cabin filter along with the engine air filter every Fall as part of winter prep on all of our cars (along with wipers, checking battery condition, and all other fluids)
Useful video but I believe the filter goes in the other way round with the printed edge facing you and the filter folds perpendicular to you not horizontal. This way, it would be much easier to push in as well.
Now ! That Air Filter that You pulled out is quite Clean ! No residue nor Leaves or Twigs imbedded in or on it ! You said at the beginning that when You had the Air Conditioner Fan on High that no Air came out or very litte but , but , it (the Fan) was making quite a lot of Noise , so , guess what ? You had the Fan on but ONLY for the Windscreen instead for the Cabin ,lol ! Better change that , eh , Dude ? The noise that the Fan was making actually indicates it being turned on for the Windscreen ONLY , lol !
I'm about to turn 60 and have never even heard of replacing a cabin air filter in a car before. But I know my RAV4 needs to have it replaced because I get hardly any air flow.
Mine wants to charge 69 to change cabin air filter and 52 for engine air filter. Unbelievable I was like no way. I just ordered the filters and will be replacing them myself.
Mostly right but the little shock absorber is usual to drop out when you remove the compartment. its not broken, you just reattach the bottom hole to the tooth right behind the glove box. 9 times out of 10 that "shock absorber" will drop out.
The plaster air filter cover has an arrow indicating the air flow direction. Rav4's have an up arrow (air flow goes up). The video seems to indicate the filter was installed backwards - air flow down.
@@njsongwriter Hi Jack. When I pull out dirty filters the debris is always sitting on top of the filter. Otherwise, the blower fan (which is beneath the filter) would get caked in dust and debris. Next time you pull out your filter check it out.
Thanks. good video. Having difficulty with my "2018". I cant pinch that tab? Will need pliers. Also, filters aren't $10 anymore. Least expensive is around $20. Better than auto repair shop.
Wow Rod, the prices are going really high then. I think you can get a discount online if you buy more than one. Either way, you are right, cheaper than a mechanic.
I just paid $21.99 for an air filter and $8.00 for labor and $21.99 for cabin filter and $19.95 for labor at the dealership... they got me but didn't feel like going to auto part store. But I will nxt time
Sometimes it's easier to use the convenience. Especially if you have a lot going on. At least next time you will have this video available to help out. Good luck and thanks for your support.
You can hit an auto parts store. The after market filters are literally the same thing as the OEM filters and a little cheaper. You can also buy in bulk online.
Hi Melissa, My wife has a 2018 now and I just confirmed the glove box assembly is identical to the way it is set up on the 2010. This means it will also work for your 2016. The only difference is that the blower housing is black instead of offwhite like on older models. Good luck.
@@ThisGuyProductions Hey McFly, if the air flows upward how did dirt collect on the top of the filter? Duh. The air flow is downward. He did it right. Some filters say "UP" on them instead of "air flow". Up is up so those would point up.
Great video, mang! I laughed my ass off when you mentioned recirculating your farts! I have to change my cabin air filter all the time because I fart so much! Keep up the good work! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
The replacement STP shown is junk. Fram is equally bad. It is a lightwweight cheap paper/cloth pleated filter. K&N is the good one. It is at least three times as heavy and is encased in a heavy duty rubberized frame. The pleated filter material is covered with a metal mesh top and bottom. I would not be surprised if you could get use compressed air to clean out and reuse the K&N. Get the K&N.
@@ThisGuyProductions The old filter you took out and the one you put in had the "air flow" arrow on the filter pointing down, which is the direction of the air flow thru the filter compartment. I say you did it right and that's the way I did mine. Why does the Fram video tutorial tell you to point the arrow up and why is there an arrow pointing up on the door to the filter compartment - I don't know?
@@ThisGuyProductions I went to the Fram site and here is their reply. Dave 11:41 Hi Donald, The arrow on the Fram filter is an air flow indicator and installs with the arrow pointed downward.

The plaster air filter cover has an arrow indicating the air flow direction. Rav4's have an up arrow (air flow goes up). The video seems to indicate the filter was installed backwards - air flow down.
Perhaps. It's been a while now. Toyota tends to put the arrow facing in the direction of airflow while aftermarket makers have the arrow point up.
Up arrows have nothing to do with air flow. They're simply telling us which side goes up. Air flow is down and an air flow arrow should point down.

Where is the best place to get a replacement filter for a reasonable price. Is there any reason to use a "genuine" Toyota part?
You can hit an auto parts store. The after market filters are literally the same thing as the OEM filters and a little cheaper. You can also buy in bulk online.
Anywhere, just make sure to get one that's not made in China. Walmart Super Tech cabin filter is $10.97.

Why does the shock absorber have two different holes to attach to the top post?
TBH I am not sure. Perhaps the part of the dash is used on different models.
So piston is only in one side, right side of glavcompartement? There is no more piston on left side?
Nope, there is only a single piston on the right.
