July 27, 200817 yr i have a 96 legacy and i know mine doesnt have a cabin filter....acutally i dont believe subaru started using cabin filters until like 04 or 05......
July 28, 200817 yr Author uh what? so all that junk is just coming in straight from outside? i turned on the fan today and like.. my arm got covered in black crap ps.. the car has only been mine for about 3 hours.. hah.
July 28, 200817 yr 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.

July 29, 200817 yr 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.
July 29, 200817 yr 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.
