I remember reaing on the forum a while back, about removing the glove box and placing air filters in the area in back. But it referenced vehicles with A/C.
My JK doesn't have A/C, and I'm wondering if the air filters would work anyway. I live 3 miles up a dirt road, and hate the fine dust that seems to love settling on the radio and dash plexiglass. If interior air filters work, they will help with this nuisance. Thanks.....

I think the filter housing started in 2011 with the new dash. They left the filters out in my Sport, but the Rubi and Sahara come with filters installed.
When I asked the parts department for filters they couldn't find the part and told me I was dreaming. Then I went to NAPA and walked out with a pair of filters in 5 minutes.

Stench from the vents is usually caused by mold in the area of the evaporator.
May be caused by a plugged drain line.
Sometimes caused by not letting the evaporator dry some before shutting off the engine.

When I took my 2013 JKS to the dealer at 15K for an oil change (got 10 free with the purchase), they checked the filters. They said it was hit and miss as to whether a particular vehicle had them or not. I have A/C but not the auto climate control option, and do have the filters. They said I could change them at that point or wait a bit as they didn't look too bad. As I recall, the price did not seem outrageous to me, but I don't remember what it was.

I just replaced mine after 18 months / 33,000 miles and they were pretty dirty. I got a set from Premier Air Filters on eBay for $17.99 shipped. His also come impregnated with carbon, so they will absorb some odor as well.
