Guys, my ac vents have a funky smell from time to time. No one smokes in the car, and I already tried drying out leaving the vents on fresh. Seems like it may be from my air freshener being too strong. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone know if there's an interior air vent filter that can be changed? I could've sworn that there was a post a long ago, but can't find it now.

i believe its called the cabin air filtration system

bah make one! get an aircon filter from homedepot and cut to fit

 

homemade hepa?

 

that is what i did. you can make 6 filters for $20.

 

btw the smell won't be stopped by the cabin air filter. it is coming from moisture in the AC evaporator core.. you will have to buy some AC conditioner from a auto store or spray some lysol into the outside intake in front of your window. the air filter will stop dust, pollen, and leaves from entering your cabin.

 

Guys, thanks for the advise. BTW, where is the AC vent? Driver or passenger side?

Also, where is the interior filter located? You're guys help is greatly appreciated.

Mahalo,

Pop the screws holding the glove box in and it's behind there.

driver side in front of the windshield. turn your vents on high and you can heard it sucking in air.
