So I was all excited that replacing these filters would increase my cooling power. Well, yes the filter is a bit dirty, but there is no restriction on air flow. I doubt that if these were extemely dirty that there would be any air flow restriction. These filters just keep large material out of the fan, ducts, and seats. They really don't catch or hold much dirt. I highly doubt these will ever be replaced in my car.
sorry for reviving the old threat but I just saw it last night and decided I’d help the air flow issue by posting my self made K&N seat filter I just removed the material that was on it with a razor and super glued the K&N filter in its place
and I must say the seat is a lot cooler
For anyone still looking for a air flow fix I removed the old material they had and replaced it with K&N filtration and the air flow is much better I just super glued the new stuff onto the old bracet
and bam now you have high air flow seat filters
Could you explain what is a "K & N" filter? I'm assuming its some sort of material that can be glued to the existing frame.
K&N is a brand of engine air filters, mainly marketed as a high performance filter.
He probably used an old one that he had, snipped them and pasted into the seat filter.
If your looking for these... Keep an eye on this seller on eBay. They are a Lexus dealer, These are normally $12 through them (Part 88921-50020) , and they charge like $4.00 shipping but, to get 2, they only charge an extra $0.50 in shipping for the 2nd one...
I guess it's a function of interior maintenance (vacuum the car) and the settings on the fan/temp for both seats. I've bought two filters and assumed the worst. I hope to just replace both filters and stop worrying about it =)

no just bought the cheapest one on the shelf and snipped away at it. I could probably do about 20 pairs of seats with what’s left over
