Don't Forget to Clean your Cabin Air Filter!

didnt' realize how easy it was to remove the glove box with it only being 3 tabs!

it was supposed to be white paper, so in the end i found out why my a/c smelled like feet

I have the aldehyde air filters, so they kinda look like that brand new anyway... changed twice (3 filters total) in 45,000 miles.

This was the cleaner of the 2. Just bought the car in April and found out about the filters last month.

aldehyde filters are a lot nicer than the stock ones, they run $40-50. Your dealer will carry it, you can also buy them off ebay.

Isn't the feet smell caused by mold/mildew growing on the evaporator coil? I'm pretty sure it is.

It's in the DIY threads. Basically it's behind the glovebox. Simple clip removal that holds the glovebox in place.

Looks like you had a mouse or rat living in there. You wouldn't get all that other crap in it otherwise
