gamelot and Les, I just saw your posts containing fotos of mouse nests and that is exactly what i found while replacing cabin air filter, so i will see if i can come up with any info regarding sealing off the air intake under the hood without disrupting any hvac systems . I suspect this is an old nest as there is no stink or any traces of mice !Removed! etc. but will keep my eyes out for any new signs of the little bstrds!!

i just bought a 2008 RX 400H and went to replace cabin air filter , pulled out air filter and saw what looks like a pile of lint like insulation? i was able to pull out with tongs and was wondering if mice or packrats can get to this area from under the hood? i live in Tucson arizona but have never had an issue with this and this car came from the L.A. area of California.Has anybody encountered this issue? Thnx, John
