Default Best Price on Cabin Filters

Need to replace seat and cabin filters. Checked Sewall but they are at about $100 - for all three - and I can't believe they're worth that. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Did you call to get the vendor discount? That will help with price.

amazon prices are very good on cabin air filters.the seat filters should require a good vacuum.

I recently got a Denso for about $30 (I can't remember the exact price) at ******************. They had a cheaper one, about $17, I think, but I opted (whether rationally or not) for the US-made part.

My very experienced service manager said that unless they got damaged somehow, the seat filters should need only a vacuuming at most.

A few members have posted this inexpensive solution in the past. They purchased a pleated furnace filter at HD, Lowes, etc. Then using the old filter as a template, they cut out a piece that would fit into the old seat filter frame and pushed it into the frame. They say it worked great and cost aroun $10 to $15. Try searching and you may find it. You could probably do the same thing for the cabin filter.

for cabin filters here are two decent values avail via amazon - WIX brand has very good prices on cabin, engine and oil filters for the LS - I like and use WIX filters although I have ordered several Toyota brand oil filters from amazon in the past.

For seat filters - I am not sure mine will ever be changed - i just vacuum my seat filters every year - they look like brand new after 6 years but I keep my interior very clean.
