Where are the filters (odor related)?

[BamBam]

I am trying to get all odors out of my new (to me) 2007 4R Sport (well, actually it has been sitting in the garage untouched for 2 months... but that's another story). Is there an in-cabin air filter or any other filters in the dash area or otherwise that I should be replacing to get the previous owner's funk out of the vehicle?

I ran an ozone machine for an hour and a half with the fan/ac running this evening and assume that will really cut down on stuff (I think somebody smoked in it at some point and I'm sensitive to it, even though it is VERY mild). I am just trying to cover all of my bases and hopefully get everything out. I know in past vehicles I've found filters in the cab that smell rotten, so I'd like to find any hot spots that might need changing or cleaning.

Thanks for any tips.

its behind the glove box. takes 5 minutes to replace. A lot of people make their own out of home HVAC filter. If you get the right one it filters better than oem. Beware too much filtration will restrict air flow.

Right on. Thanks. Does anything need to be removed, or it is just up and underneath the glove, or does the box snap out and it comes out from behind it? I am sure I can figure it out in the AM when I go look at it. I just thought I'd ask in case there are any special tricks.

its real easy. Open the glove, remove the screw on the right side that attaches the strut to the glove box. once removed you open the box more to reveal the blower box.The filter is in a clip-in tray that slides out.
