2022 4Runner ice in cabin air filter
 
Hello All,

I just replaced my in cabin air filter and there was ice piled in there and it all fell down into the fan. We had a ice/snow storm last night and the temps were 15 degrees. Is there a way to get this ice/water once it melts out of the fan area or is there a drain built into this? I am worried it will ruin it! IS there a way to prevent this from happening??

Thanks!

Any melted ice in the filter area will simply drain out the evaporator drain hose. Just be sure the drain hose is clear of debris; it has been known to get leaves and such in it.


Keeping ice out? Not sure about that, but perhaps putting a cover over the air intake in front of the windshield will help.

Move someplace where that crap doesn't spontaneously fall from the sky.

This was an issue in the 4th Gen 4Runners and Toyota issued a TSB for the problem.

I have not had this issue in my 5th Gen 4Runner.

Maybe it was a one off since we had such hard winds and ice.
