    No, was just curious how everyone got to it but once i took a look it was really easy. Mine was NASTY to the point it was hard to pull out because of debris.

    Okay, now that you have cleaned it and had a nasty first clean do it again because there is still stuff from outside that you did not get! (backed up) But as to cleaning the cabin air filter I use K&N filter cleaner. It is for their filter and it works on all vehicle filters (air). Just follow directions and all is good. Done this on mine since the first 2000 Tacoma I bought. No disintegration of the glues holding the filter together. Just cold water and the cleaner. No harsh detergents or hot water to affect the integrity of the fabric. Little costly, but I can clean five filters with one squeeze bottle. $8 bucks verses $24/$25 for a filter? Depending on the severity of dirt and other stuff. You do not have to have the K&N filters, I use it on the factory filters that came with the Truck. They are not just paper! I hope this helps.

    I ended up leaving the filter out, pulling the blower motor (I think, lol) and driving to autozone to get the new filter. A ton more crap blew out of it while fresh air was being pushed through. Fun fact, it actually feels like my ventilation system works now
