Thanks. I would hate to buy the wrong one. I might give the dealer a call on Monday and see what they say, unless someone here chimes in first.

I remember doing this on my 99 es300 a few years ago. Come to think, it's probably time to do it again. There was a post somewhere that covered this. I did have to lift part of the carpet to the right of the gas pedal. From what I understand, a lot of cars did not come with a filter installed, just an empty slot. After lifting the carpet a bit and removing a small cover, there were a few small leaves in there. The filter comes in two pieces. The first one slides in then up. The second one just slides in on the first row.

I have a 1999 ES300 with the wood grain, driver's side master window switch. Does anyone know if this same part from a 1997 or 1998 is compatible with my car. I see some people selling this part used for 1997 - 2001 and some are just for 1999 - 2001. I really just need to replace the wood bezel, but I was hoping someone knew if its compatible. Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by clocking the motor, but I made a mistake that I hope you can learn from. I have a 99 es300 and just the other day the regulator wire snapped. I got the replacement part the next day. I tested the motor first to make sure it was still working. Install was basically the reverse of the pulling it out. After I installed it, I noticed that when I close the window using the auto-up, it bounces back down (halfway) when it reaches the top. It has something to do with the limit switch on the motor. I understand its a safety precaution in case there is something obstructing the path of the window when it closes. Maybe someone else can confirm, but when you install the regulator make sure the window is set just below half way. Apparently, there is also a mark on the regulator spool and motor that should match up. I'm thinking I have to take my door apart again tomorrow to adjust this. Any advice would be appreciated, but ink4trouble, I just thought you should look out for this when you do your install and save yourself some time. Oops, I just noticed that your post was from July. Hope your window is working by now.
