How to Change a Cabin Air Filter – Toyota Sienna
Step 1: Open the Glove Box
Pull the latch and open the glove box as you normally would.
Step 2: Disconnect the Damper Arm
Locate the damper arm on the right side of the glovebox. Pull the damper are ‘out,’ away from the knob that it is attached to. If it is stubborn, squeeze the 2 tabs on the knob together while pulling the arm off.
Step 3: Remove the Glovebox
Press inward on both sides of the glovebox simultaneously while gently pulling the glovebox outward and down.
Lift up on the glovebox to unhook the hinges, and set it aside or on the floor.
Step 4: Remove the Air Filter Tray
Press the tabs on the sides of the white filter tray to release it, then pull it out.
Step 5: Remove Old Filter
Pull the old filter out of the plastic tray.
Step 6: Insert New Filter
Unwrap your new cabin air filter.
Identify the direction of airflow, the arrows should point in the same direction as those on the filter tray.
The airflow direction through the cabin air filter on a Toyota Sienna is from bottom to top, so the arrows on the cabin air filter should point UP.
Put the new filter into the filter tray.
Step 7: Re-insert the Filter Tray
Put the filter tray back into the slot and push it in until the tabs click into place.
Step 8: Put the Glove Box Back On
Put the glove-box back on by hooking the bottom hooks over the pivot points.
Then push the glovebox up and into position. The sides will flex slightly as it pops back into place.
Step 9: Reconnect the damper arm.
To reconnect the damper arm, simply press it back onto the knob. It will snap into place.
Close the glovebox.
That’s it! Thanks for reading.

‘pretty sure you’re wrong about the airflow direction, the “Cabin Air Filter Air Flow Direction” thread on siennachat says the air flow is top to bottom, and a few other references I’ve found agree with that (I don’t fault you though, it’s surprisingly confusing — ‘too bad Toyota couldn’t have just put an “air flow” arrow label somewhere to eliminate any confusion)
It is absolutely TOP to BOTTOM as you state on your message dated May 21, 2023 The fan is below the filter and sucking air through the filter which is on the TOP. Therefore the airflow if form TOP to BOTTOM. I noticed this immediately when seeing this video and tutorial. With that said, the tutorial is excellently videoed and written save for that one typo.
