Default How do you find aftermarket cabin filters for seats?

Easy enough to find them for the AC cabin filter, but what about for the ones in the seats? Im sure Ive seen them online before, but now I cant find them anywhere. I must not be searching for them correctly as I know amazon carries them from a bunch of manufacturers. What should I be looking for?

Lexus Seat filter - 88921-50010

Haven't seen them for less that $22.

If its not too dirty just use a shop vac and brush to clean out any dust and dirt...extend the life for years if you regularly clean it.

Thanks guys. Ill pull them and see what they look like, but I think Ill likely order new ones. I realize cleaning them may accomplish much of the same, but I already ordered a new AC filter and kinda feel like knowing someone elses fannies were on them for so long and all that implies, I want to replace these too.

Worried about an ancient fart lodged in there?

Be glad you don't have an UL - they have eight cabin filters!

Don't know if you watch Top Gear, but they recently did a segment where the guys each bought a used car (they all ended up with '90s 3-series) which was then submitted to a forensics lab to see what kind of "stuff" was left behind. I think Hammond's was the worst with like 4 different bodily fluids in it.

When we were looking at used LS and RX cars in the past, some of the interiors were so disgusting - would not have surprised me if previous owner had died of Ebola in the car while parked in a McDonald's parking lot judging by the organic fluid stains, grease marks, and french fry crumbs coating everything.
