In the UL there's one in each seat, plus one in each rear side sill, plus the glovebox cabin filter, plus the trunk rear A/C cabin filter (the big sucker) = 8.

The rear side sills wow talk about clean air.

Received and installed today. A real PITA to install, and man are they tiny!! If I knew they were that small, Id have tried to come up with another solution, like buying a filter from Home Depot and cutting to size. Almost $60 shipped is a real rip for these itty bity things IMO. Anyway, theyre swapped out and the old ones were just filthy, so thanks everyone for your help.

After all these conversations about bodily fluids and stuff, well, my new floor mats will be here in a couple of days too, lol.

Ok how do I get to the filters? Or is that a different thread?

Muti007

Im sorry I didnt take any pics but I hope I can help anyway. Theyre a pain to get to. What you want to do is remove the small drawer in each of the front seats, then raise the seats all the way up, then pushed all the way back. Theyre towards of the front of the seats, down pretty low. Theyre inside a plastic compartment, and they clip in with a little plastic clip on each side of the filter. Pop the old one out by pushing out one of the outside clips on the old filter, then squirm the new one around until you can get to pop in the same way the old one was popped in.

Hope that helps.

Good luck bud, let us know how it goes.

Does changing the seat filter improve the air flow through the seats much? I've got to say that on my pre-owned '06 the ac through the seats is not that impressive.

A new filter won't help that much, this car cooling seat is horrible.

I just rinse them out in the sink and then let them dry out.

My car seat cooling works okay. I can feel the cool air coming out of the seat. With the cooling left off the passenger seat I can feel that it is warm while my seat has cool air flowing thru it. What more would I want?

Same here, after seat filters replacement it's nice and cool when i want it.

anybody find an answer to this question...in particular for the front seat filters since those do need to be replaced? the OEM version is like 22$ and I'd estimate the Denso version ought to be half that, if I could find it. Searching Denso website yields nothing, just the main A/C filter up front in the glove box.

so anybody find aftermarket equivalents to the front seat filters?

Buy a HVAC filter at HomeDepot and cut it to size if you really need to replace because whatever's in there is that dirty. Otherwise - follow along the hints in this thread to vacuum, brush, clean with water and dry or just shake it and put it back in.

What's the correct way to remove the sliding drawer ?
