    Just picked up a 2012 4x4 taco. Looking at the cabin filter I noticed this tube on the glove box. What is it?

    Dampener for the glovebox so it doesn’t just drop down when you open it

    It's the air damper that makes it so your glove box lowers slowly. It looks like the internals have separated and that's one half, is the other half attached inside your dash still?

    I'll look for the other half. It's just sitting there.
