yeah, remove the little storage tray, and reach your hand in through that gap. Squeeze both sides of the filter with your one hand and you'll feel it give way as the plastic "spring" holders loosen....

you could also go at from below but move seat as high as possible, IIRC

I just inspected mine. You have to move the seat all the way back and up for easy access.

The drivers side filter was dirty but the passenger side wasn't so after blowing it out with compressed air and cleaning it I switched the filters.

Haven't done the back seat filters yet.

Yep came out quite easy once you know how. Pretty clean tho.





Just picked this up
2004 LS430 Sport 92k
Nav with backup camera
Heat AC seats
heated rear seats
Rear shades
Every thing works great.
Did fix one door power lock. Just a little$10.00 D shaft motor from Amazon.
Now all it need is a motor for the telescopic steering wheel.
I'll find a used one cheap some were
