I only know of the one that is located under the glove box. However, I recently read that there is one in the rear of the vehicle, too. Is that true? Thanks for the help.

Not that I have ever seen. But that cabin filter needs a change every spring or your A/C will be marginal.

I literally just replaced mine today! I replace it every May before summer. Helps the A/C be more productive.

There are exit vents at the rear, below the hatch opening. If they are blocked, air flow from the dash vents will be reduced.
