Hi all,

I'm exploring my wiper motor compartment today, and I think this (see pic) is my AC air intake. Sound right?

If so, should there be any kind of filter in place? Is that even an option? Just seems strange to see it wide open, and I can't understand the shape of the box except to imagine some kind of filter going in there.

And yes, I cleaned out the whole wiper motor compartment. Hadn't been in there in 20 years.

Nice, thanks! Ok, will consider adding one, but really just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything that the TJ was supposed to have.

Thanks again.

Right, thanks. But should it have a filter-cap, or any kind of filter in the hole? Just seems strange (and a strange shape) to be wide open.

I edited my post, see the new post :)

It's not supposed to have a filter or anything over it. But, people will custom make filter covers for it. I don't think it's a bad idea personally.
