Re: cabin air filter
You can clean it but that is dry debris. Sounds like you might have some mold going on there. The filter is easy to do yourself either way and probably way cheaper than what that dealer is quoting you. I'd buy one from parts and do it myself. I've had mine out and cleaned it. its a little tough to get to but with a little patience you can save a good del of money. Somebody here I'm sure will know the part number.
After you have it done or do it yourself try running your cabin fan on high for a few minutes before you shut your car off without the AC on. I've used this trick on my PT's and my Crossfire and never had an odor problem.

Re: cabin air filter
I paid $37.50 for my filter from the dealer and changed it myself. If I were you, I'd replace it about every 15,000 miles. Mine had 15,000 miles on it when I changed it and it was disgusting. Under the glove box you'll see a panel. Remove the screws and drop that panel out. Then you'll see a rectangular door. Pop that open and the filter will slide out. If you need help changing it, PM me and i'll walk you through it.

you need to slide back each clip (off white color) to remove filter cover... then pull filter out (it stands up on end).

Re: cabin air filter
I had service "B" recently done to my Crossfire which included a new cabin filter and the bill was $287, so I'd say just for them to replace the CF was about $165.00. My car had about 15K and it was VERY dirty. If your a do it yourselfer I say go for it, although it isn't as easy to replace as other cars, that's for sure!

as for the roadster... you need clean fresh air when the top is up... it will offset all that pollution you took in with the top down.
