I replaced the cabin filter today, it's between the firewall and the front windshield. It was "slam packed" with dirt, leaves etc., I couldn't believe how bad it was. It is beyond me how any air passed through it. Cleaned out the area where it sits with a wet vac and sealed it up. If you haven't done it I would highly suggest it.

Did you clean the drainage hoses too?

My upper elephant trunk hose was 100% clogged with debris from pine needles. It's easy to clean too.

The checking of and inspecting of all the drains is something not even mentioned in the Haynes:nono; .... and I see nothing on this in the owner's manual:nono; .

I never heard about that either until I saw Munki's tutorial.

I pulled it off and cleaned it and the area it plugs into...Wasn't real bad but removed some old leaves and dirt.
