Same here, I just realized that mine came with out one. I'm actually looking into making a couple from an old furnace air filter, the problem is its old so I may have to buy a newer one that will work better, does Toyota sell these furnace filters for a reasonable price?

furnace filter comes cheaply from wal mart or home depot.

I know this is off the topic but I thought I should share this, when I went to change my cabin filter it was there but it had a plastic glove, strange stuff but I went to the dealer and for free they changed the blower to make sure nothing was affected by the plastic, also because I didn't go there as a happy camper if you know what I mean, but now I am.

My car came with one and had something extra, a plastic glove

Is a cabin filter related to a sky hook?
Never heard of it until I saw this thread.

I just checked mine, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a filter in there! I just bought my car used in August. The car came as is with no A/C, so I made the dealer install an A/C unit at half price. I'm pretty amazed that they actually put in a filter and didn't cut corners...unless they cut corners elsewhere??? Now I'm making myself paranoid!

My 2008 Yaris did'nt have one. Neither did my brother's Scion Xd. My Mom's 2006 Corolla had one from the factory though....
Out here dealer gets $59 to put one in!

I buy mine at PepBoys for $11.99.

the first time i opened my cabin filter box there was a ziploc baggie in there, but no filter. the sandwich bag was pretty filthy, however, so i guess it did capture *some* dirt :lol: !

point to story - even if you don't plan on installing a cabin filter you should check the box anyways to see if there's anything in there that could be blocking airflow. it's easy to access - just pop your glovebox off it's hinges(instructions are in the manual) and VIOLA!!!!

I made six my first time using bailout's thread for $12 and some of my time. I grabbed the wrong size this last time but I still got 4 of them. Which reminds me, I need to change mine again.

Oh, I merged the two threads BTW.

I checked mine, no filter on my 2007 3-door LB w/ AC. I'm gonna try the DIY home brew ones.
