cabin filter install...YES it is worth repeating
Didn't want this getting lost in the what did you do to you SC today thread and I you haven't already done it, you're doing your mistress a disservice. Did this just this morning. Smells like a new car now. The install is super-duper easy too. Just a few additional inputs. BTW, mine is a 92 so no passenger airbag worries.
1. Get in there with your hand or a vacuum as far as you can to get anything that has not dropped out already. There WILL be additional debris. Then run the a/c to push out what you can't reach.
2. Douse your filters in LYSOL DISINFECTANT SPRAY (till they drip with it) and close the system up after a thorough cleaning of the filler panel and the back of they glovebox. They will be EXTREMELY dusty. Don't sit in the car while you run the system. It will most certainly overwhelm you.
3. Clean and vacuum the interior of the car immediately and you will probably never have that musty smell again until its time to change filters.
most of what you see in that pic is animal turds, a lil fur and alot of acorn shells.
She loves me even more now than she did yesterday

^^ If it's the A/C interior filter, it is the panel underneath the glove box facing the floor board. You undo some plastic interior panel push-in studs and I think a phillips screw or two and the panel comes out. The filters are held in by a rectangular plastic plate (or maybe it was metal) with either an 8mm or 10mm bolt IIRC.
It's actually two filters held together with a plastic hinge. Only one P/N though.

I have a bone stock 92 sc300 and the rectangle panel on the bottom of the blower box is held on by four wing nuts.
I removed the wing nuts and the rectangle piece and then I can feel up in there and my car has no filter to be found. Maybe I am looking in the wrong spot, or my car never came with a cabin filter.
