so my recirc on my 2008 doesnt work


I bought the part from @Oakleyguy to fix it

i toook glove box apart today and my arms and all are ok

but the plastic tray filter sits on is broken and it prevents the accordian thing to close

1) is the platic tray toyota dealer only?

2) if I put the glove box al back together can i still get access to the plastic tray or do i need to leave it all open till i get a new tray?
 
There isn’t any stress on the tray. Would tape and glue make it functional?

let me see if i can glue it back

would be nice to get some fresh air in the car after a year

so when accordian is open = fresh air

accordion closed = recirc?
 
Mine was in similar condition and I ordered a new one from the dealer, $14.00 bucks or so.
 
Filter blocked by the door means fresh air. Filter visible is recirc
 
This looks still like something you can easily glue with ca glue or epoxy if you want to give it a try.

I was going to offer to 3D print one for you (long row to hoe for that - long story). But for $14, I'm sure the quality you'd get direct would far surpass whatever chickensh*t media I could produce.

plastic "welder" for the win!
