[Shop-talk] Cabin Air Filters

[Robert Rochlin]

	In my Frontier the cabin filter is inhabited by mice every winter and the acorns and nut they store fall down into the fan as they wear through the filter element, so not only does the filter do nothing I’ve got the loudest ventilating fan in town.  I think that this spring I’ll remove the fan, clean it and not install the cabin filter.  Inhaling mouse drippings can’t be good.
	Best,
	Bob
