How to change cabin air filter on 2007 Toyota Avalon?
From http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ef2150b/14023: Drop the glovebox down. This involves removing the little “shock” on one side and then squeezing in the sides of the door while pulling down. The door will swing down far enough so you have access to the filter. Look for a panel or door about 2 x 8 inches and the filter is in there. Squeeze the tabs on the side of the plastic filter cover and remove the cover. Then slide out the filter.
