I changed my filter today for the first time. I bought the car (used) over a year ago and never thought to change the filter. Well, when I removed the cover under the glove box, little pieces of broken glass started falling down.

My car has no accident record but I have to assume that the windshield was broken at some point in order for glass to end up in that area, right? I also believe that the rear window was shattered as well, because when I removed the rear window trim panels to clean the window under the third brake light housing, I found more small pieces of broken glass.

How is it that this car has a clean title and no accident on record but both the front and rear glass has been shattered in the past?

And in case you were wondering, the cabin air filter was disgusting. Leaves and debris all caked in there. I replaced it with the Purolator filter but will change to the Mercedes one in the Spring. The Purolator one is cheaply made.
