Cabin airfilter

So I changed my cabin air filter and didn't pay attention to the arrow lol. Which way should these things go?

 

Arrow pointing down

air pulls in from the cowl down to the blower

 

Thanks brotha!

 

I bought a filter recently, and it said in the instructions point the arrow up. But then on the filter it said airflow with an arrow indicating. Stupid. The dirt collects on top of the filter so obviously that is the direction of flow. The box contradicted itself. There is a long thread around here where just became a running joke.

 

Maybe it’s a Jeep thing and we just don’t understand?

 

BUHAHAHAHA

 

True that, but most U- tube vids on tundra shows air cabin pointed up.as you install back in.. Very contradicting...From tundra and tacos shows this... A running joke for sure...

What is a cabin filter? asking for a 1st gen friend.

 

I cut mine in half and put one side arrow up and the other arrow down just to be safe.

 

Ah, a man who refuses to be tied to conventional wisdom and isn't afraid to think outside the box. The world needs more like you. I see a bright future and promotion ahead.

First gen cabin air filters are known as vibrissae and cilia. It’s OK if you have to google that.

 

Those are their stripper names.

 

Its pretty hard to get a definitive answer here it seems. The correct answer, like some others have stated is that the fan pulls down, so the arrow goes down. For the Non-Believers, pull the filter, turn the fan on, and stick a piece of paper in the area the filter is placed. Science.

 

The airflow is indeed downward, assuming all 4 tires are touching some form of earth, pavement…

Some filters have an arrow labelled “airflow”, while some have an arrow labelled “up” in my experience. The folds of the pleated filter should have the widest part facing the inlet, so the airflow helps them seal against the sides of the housing. I hope this makes sense, it’s not the easiest thing to explain.

 

Point taken, it seems to be a misunderstanding all around.
