        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=E2=80=99ve got the loudest ventilating fan in town.  I think that this =
spring I=E2=80=99ll remove the fan, clean it and not install the cabin =
filter.  Inhaling mouse drippings can=E2=80=99t be good.
        Best,
        Bob
