I can remember my cabin air filter. there's an arrow for the air flow direction. But I think its from the bottom going up. If it really annoys you so much, you can remove your cabin air filter and spray directly in the box.

Is the air filter before or after the evaporator? it should be before right? so no particles get into the fins. If you spray on the cabin air filter box the mist will clean the evap, if the cleaner is corrosive it might be dangerous.

Leaves in the fresh air intake can cause odors, as well as a clogged or mis-routed drain hose, or an AC system run most of the time on recirculate instead of fresh. Since Built Well is from Texas, I'd guess that the last one is the most likely cause. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply)
From: Go Mavs on 21 Oct 2007 00:51 Well I bought the stuff from AutoZone and did as said, and it took care of the problem, thus far anyway. If that does not work then I will go to Toyota and ask them what can be done and how to scrub a dub dub.
