Cabin filter for Gen 2 & 2.5. A quick guide.

[zerodrift]

Here's a quick rundown for a cabin filter mod I did on my 2000 Montero.

The filter install requires the removal of some plastic mesh above the blower motor.

You can replace the filter with the speaker removed. To cut out the plastic, it'd be easier to pull the glove box.

The filter needs to have two pleats removed and of course, you will need to trim the lower grill supports on the hvac recirculation covers as seen in the pictures.

I really need to do this sooner than later, living in one of the driest states means tons of dust/pollen.

Where on the vehicle is the air actually drawn in from the outside?

I believe from the slats just below the wipers.

Yes, this is accurate.
