    My 2018 Yaris iA did not have an arm on the side. To release the glove box I had to push in on both sides and pull towards me. That released the catches on both sides. There was no separate plastic holder to remove in front of the filter The filter had a catch on the top and bottom in the middle. Press the catches toward each other and remove. Replace the same way.

    Nice video, having problems with airflow, turns out the filter was upside down, so now air flow is good again.

    It depends on the manufacturer of the filter. Some filters, like the OE Toyota or Mazda filter will have an arrow showing the direction of airflow. In that case, the filter is installed with the arrow pointing downwards because the airflow comes from the top and goes down. Other filter brands might have an arrow with the word "up" in which case the filter is installed with the arrow pointing up.

    Thank you. I was trying to get the wings out at the middle of the glovebox by pushing the sides in, THEN the hinges. The pasenger side one came out no problem, but the driver's side one was a nitghmare. 🙂 I will try your method next time.

    A service tech recommended that I change my cabin filter once. The cost was $60. I passed on the generosity of his offer.

    Thanks for this. Although I didn't have a replacement, I took my filter out to see what it was like. It was filthy. Lots of crushed leaves and other debris. It's only been in there about 18 months. I hoovered it out and put it back. With a new Bosch filter ordered.

    Thanks a lot for your video. I'm really having a hard time getting this glove box out of a YARIS HYBRID 2015. The instructions say that I need to press the sides of the box inwards but I am no bodybuilder. Do I need to use a crowbar? I don't want to damage the car. I also tried to apply preassure like you did at 0:33, but it did not work. Can you further specify this preassure, is it a upward pulling force? how strongly do i have to pull?

    Hi, thanks for watching! I certainly wouldn't recommend using a crowbar, as you'll likely break something. Typically if a small mechanism made of plastic like this isn't moving don't force it. I found a reasonable amount of force was required (just with hands) to pop the glovebox clips up and out of where they snap into below. In the shot you're talking about I'm using my right hand to pull upwards and out and my left hand to push upwards, it has to come out at an angle but clips down and in vertically if that makes sense.

    Thank you for the video ! I have a 2017 hybrid and almost always after closing the air intake to the cabin, starts to smell like an old closet if you know what i mean... Any advice or do you think that a carbon filter will improve the driving experince ?? Thanks.

    @@2ndGearLow thanks. I'll inspect it myself when I have time... The thing is that right after the last maintenance, when supposedly the cabin filter was replaced, it was doing the same thing. From what I've seen and researched it looks like most Toyotas do this, so it seems like a design flaw to me. Thank you for responding!

    Hi Matthew, thanks for watching! On the Yaris 1.3L engine shown here (2NZ-FE), the fuel filter is located connected to the fuel pump, which sits inside the top of the fuel tank. We highly recommend checking out partsouq.com, which is a great resource for working on cars. Simply enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of your particular Yaris, and then search for fuel filter, and you will be able to see an exploded diagram of the location of the fuel filter including part numbers. You can also create a free account and add the car to your garage there, to make it easy to find other part numbers and diagrams in future
