Mouse!!!!!
 

Well got in the HH today and low and behold a mouse on the dash:eek:.... Now just how he got in the car I have no idea, no gaping openings I could see. Has anyone else with a Highlander had a hichhiker and found where they got in???:confused:

Have you checked the cabin air filter?

Yes it was full of pieces of shells and I changed it out. No idea how they got in there or where the outside air intake is.

Re: Mouse!!!!!
 

The outside air intake is within the cowl assembly that runs along the firewall at the back of the engine compartment.

I understand a small mouse can enter through a 1/4" hole. If you keep the cabin air recirculation door closed when your HiHy is parked, MAYBE that will prevent mice from getting in.

I just noticed your animated avatar which is very funny! Since you own two hybrids I don't imagine you have much need for gearshifting...

Just put it on the treadmill with the other three so you can go back to 4-wheel drive :)
