Hey friends. It's Len here at 1A Auto. Today I'm working on a 2007 Toyota FJ cruiser. I'm going to be replacing the cabin air filter. It's going to be very simple and you can do it too. If you need this or any other part, you can always check us out at 1aauto.com. Thanks.
We're going to open up our glove box. On the side over here there's a little piston. All you do is grab it, pull it off to the side. You're going to squeeze the two sides of your glove box and they have little tabs. When you pull them in, they move away from the up top part of the dash. Then you can just pull it out straight towards you. Now that our glove box is out of the way, we can see where the cabin air filter is. It's located right here. It's very simple to get to. All you do is you just grab this. Grab this, pull it straight out. As you can tell, the cabin air filter, and this is extremely filthy and it's well past time to be replaced. Thank goodness 1A Auto has this part. I'm going to go ahead and install it. To take this out, you want to use gloved hands, of course. This is disgusting. I'm just going to grab it. Pay special attention to which way you take it out. Okay.
Wow, that's nasty. All right. With it being out, you can see that the fin side faces upward. When we put it in our new one, we're going to do the same exact thing. It's going to look just like this. Here we are, friends, a quick product comparison for you. Right here we have our cabin air filter out of our 2007 Toyota FJ cruiser. As you can tell, it's absolutely disgusting. Over here we have our brand new quality 1A Auto part. They're both exactly the same shape. I don't want to touch it up against there because, well, I don't want to contaminate this brand new part. As you can tell, it looks exactly the same and exception of I'm not going to be breathing in nasty gross disgustingness with this one. With that said, I don't see any reason why I wouldn't want to install this into my vehicle, so I'm going to go ahead and do it. If you need this or any other part, you can always check us out 1aauto.com. Thanks.
Okay, so we're going to take our brand new quality 1A Auto part. We're going to install it into the tray. I'm just going to go down like this, right along the edge. Here we are. Down. Down. Okay. Make sure it's all the way down, all the way around here. Just use a small pocket screwdriver. There's little lips right here. You just got to push the filter down underneath those. It locks them down in, and that way they're ... the filter can't move around and possibly let any debris or a potential mouse crud past and through your vents so you're breathing them in. There we are. Let's go ahead and install this tray.
Okay, so it's time to install the tray. We've got our fins facing up. Our writing, "Toyota, up" facing up. Everything looks good. Just going to slide it right in just like this. Here we are. Onto the next step. Along the bottom of the glove box, you've got a couple of little hooks here. Okay. They're going to sit right along here. I'm going to set my hooks into there. Okay. We've got our little piston here. This just makes it so the glove box goes up and down nice and slow. It sits onto this piton right here. I'm going to bring it up. Push those up. I'm going to grab my piston. I'm going to slide it right on. There we are. Bring it up.

Hey, friends. It's Len here from 1A Auto. Today we're gonna be working on our 2006 Toyota 4Runner, and I want to show you how to remove and install your cabin air filter. Let's get right into it. We're gonna go right behind the glovebox here. Hopefully, nothing too crazy falls out of here. This looks clean. So that's nice. Squeeze like this, and you're gonna see a little tab right here. That needs to pull out. Same thing over here.
And then, I just grab along this piston right and slide it off of this piece right there. At this point, you can look inside. You can see this rectangle coming across. Just gonna grab this end. Give a little tug, this end. Oh, yeah, I'd say it's about time. Let's bring this over to the trash receptacle, clean it out, and then we'll install our new one. Okay, so to install our new filter we're just gonna go in just like this. Slide it in.
All right, so now it looks like it's in but it's not. Right along here you're gonna notice little triangles with a cut out at the bottom and that's to hold the filter in. So, you just need to make sure you that you squish the filter down enough, so it gets under that lip. Should slide right in. Around here do the same on this side. That one looks good. Come right here. Here we go, awesome. Now when we install this you want to make sure these fins are facing up.
So that way the air... As the air is getting drawn into the vehicle it's coming down here, and it's gonna accumulate inside all these ridges. This is gonna help protect you from breathing in all that crud that you saw on the old one. I'll come down here. Line it up with the hole, and just slide it in. We're gonna listen for a click noise, awesome. Give it a nice little tug. Try to wiggle it around. It's definitely latched in, perfect.
At this point, I'm gonna lift this up. We're gonna pay attention to our piston now. You've got your little piton right there, okay? Right where my finger is, and on the piston there's a little hole. It's kinda like this one up here, except it's right down here, all right? So just lift up your box. So you get so the two are lined up. The hole with the piton. Slide it in. Here we go. Lift this up. This is gonna go up and over that just like that. Bonk, bonk, boom. Perfect, that looks great. Down the road you go.
