Setright Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 It was an option along with A/C. If there is one, it's underneath the glovebox, you don't need to remove the glovebox to get the filter out. The bent metal plate in this picture is what the cover looks like on my year 2000 Impreza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setright Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 The air is drawn in through the grille around the base of your windscreen wipers. There should be a screen mesh underneath the grille to stop smaller bits entering the cabin, things like plant spores and leaf litter.

nipper Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Usually black chunks are some sort of foam seal falling apart on one of the doors. Yes air comes in on all subarus (and almost all cars) under the hood at the base of the windshielf. They take advantage of the ram affect of air flow. Older cars used to catch it at the same place, but it wasnt under the good. They had a grill, and if you were lucky, a mesh screen for leaves.
