Toyota RAV4 (2019-2025): Cabin Air Filter Change. Air Flow Direction. Should Arrow Point UP Or DOWN?

Very good overview!

most useful one！show the real key point, the airflow

Thank you

Dude great explanation, thanks

I cleaned the filter myself in fairy water. car mileage 12700km, not miles.

what happens if you spray the filter with perfume or put some good smelly thing in the drawer with the filter? Has anyone tried it?

Thanks for this tutorial! It helped me figure out the most logical thing-- that the leaf and dirt would be on the in-flow side of the filter :)

Great vid!

Well, I have been installing them in my car for the last 10 years upside down!

Great vid 👍

Soooo well explained and super helpful. THANK YOU

You're saving a lot of people showing this trick

Awesome ,, recently ran into this issue with an after market filter. Thank you

Thanks

Thanks for your very thorough explanation. I watched 2 videos before and couldn’t understand how to change the filter until I watched your video.

Nice explained, thank you!

Thank you for this excellent explanation.

Thanks, everything is so simple and clear explained. Defenitely my wife can do filter changing after this video. It is like in roborock xiaomi)).

Спасибо!

Very helpful! Thank you

You always have the answers I need for my Rav. Thanks again!!!👍🏻👊🏻

100% correct , leave it to the automotive engineers to label everything up when air flow is down!!

Excellent explanation. Very detailed. Thanks.

Great explanation- I replaced the filter in my Corolla in about 2 min! Thanks for this video!

genius thanks man

Does this filter fit the 2023 RAV4 Hybrid XLE models? Thanks for the excellent video.

Carbon side up or down??( air flow is from top to bottom)

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I read the manual twice and box instructions twice and panicked bc my new filter didn’t have an up arrow. Your explanation and leaf test were just what I needed!!

I replaced my cabin air filter today. There was pieces of carbon pieces when I inserted the new filter inside. I shaked the filter off to get remaining pieces off will it cause issues with ac system ?

Thanks God they don't put arrow up on home ac filter .

My friend, thank you for clarifying this so nicely for a non-mechanic like me!!! I Honestly, I was confused but I'm now a smarter non-mechanic just because of you. I'm sure I'm not the only one who can now make sense about "who's up and who's down" on this silly cabin filter thingamajig. Halleluyah!

Perfect description but I have a question if you could help me. there's an other type of filter ontop of that plastic filter rack, it's kind decomposed and comes in pieces down , I cannot find it a spare in the market

Great videos! Such good quality instruction!

Muchas gracias con este video y con tu ayuda por primera vez te envié el filtro yo sola. Gracias

thanks, I had it backwards.. I wrote on the plastic for air flow for next time.

Very well explained thank you

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey my air filter doesn’t have an airflow arrow, how do I make sure I inserted it correctly

I bought a Bosch filter and the manual says the arrow of the filter should show towards the airflow not with the airflow...

Thank you ! Really helpful

Excellent video. I came upon this one because others were unclear. Your video has cleared up all confusion, thank you.

Very useful video, thanks! From experience, if I see a filter in this state, I also wipe the plastic holder, since it's likely to have some dust on it. Hoppe it helps.

You are a life saver - I was going nuts when I pulled out my Lexus Cabin air Filter lol

Thank you for the detailed explanation and excellent video instruction. 👍

Thanks
