I've changed mine. Recline the seat and you can then get under the front seat. Not that difficult.

got it thanks - at 20k miles and 2006 model year I just pulled the driver's seat filter and its clean and still new looking. My guess is that it will still look that way at 50k miles

We just bought 2004 LS430. When car is started and runs a couple of mins, it smells bad. Has almost 90K miles on it. I love the car, but it stinks! If it needs cabin filters, can I wash them out somehow, or do I need to purchase? And, had to replace battery. Was told there are many electrical things attached to this beautiful car, the battery was not giving enough of a charge. Will I have to do this again soon?

WOW, I see why you dont want to change the seat filters. Not a huge difference between the new seat filter and the old one. They probably can go very long periods with out replacing seat air filters. I guess it depends on how often there used. The cabin filer was dirty as they all tend to get tht way, no surprise at all that the cabin filter looked like that due to how much we all use it. Good point on the dealer to.
I know a few have speculated that no just with Lexus but all dealers are skimmping on service work etc., They only check certain things probably to cut cost. Was told by a friend who owns a Lexus he didnt have all work done he paid for so he went to an independent that told him of the neglect the Lexus service department have given to his GS! Depends on the integrity of the service department and dealer I guess as people will always try to give you the banana in the tailpipe!!! L.G.N.M

I just realized when reading this that I wrote in "front" seat when I actually meant the "rear" seat. The question I was responding to was how does one get to the filters in the rear seats. A better and fuller explanation is to just slide the front seat forward and then recline the rear seat. As the rear seat moves forward the front lower edge will move out away from the seat and you can actually put your head on the floor and look up under the seat.
My apology and I am embarrassed for such an obvious bad answer.

In post #21, jayclapp mentioned the tiny return air filters, and I assume these are the same as the "rear garnish" or "rear sill" filters. I think they are on the UL cars only.
Another thread said that these were a PITA to change, and the owner's manual says to take your car to the dealer.
Is it really that hard? Any tips/pictures on the procedure?
Thanks in advance.
