PSA - Clean Your Seat Filter (1 Viewer)

[TeCKis300]

Spring cleaning? Vacuuming the endless sand in my car from the last desert trip, I'm reminded to clean the seat filter. It's a little known filter for the cooled/heated seats. The seat lifts high enough to vacuum out the filter with a crevice tool, but they can also be taken out with an easy counter-clockwise twist.

Part numbers if you want to replace. There's two types

1) A furry media type filter (picture) shared with other Lexus models: 88921-50020
2) Screen type fitted to later model year LCs with heated/cooled seats: 88921-60010

Generics available on Amazon

I had one of these on an old car. Great to know it's on the TLC too!

Love this post! I was wondering why is my driver seat warm/cold air not as noticible as passenger seat. I will try this and see if it fixes it.

Are the LX and LC ones the same dimensions and fitment - could we "upgrade" the LC filter to the LX filter?

Let us know if that makes a difference!

you did this without lifting up the seat?
I tried removing my filter and it seemed impossible. how did you manage?

I think there's a good chance it'll drop in.

I motored it all the way forward and up. A bit tight, but doable to counter clockwise twist off the filter.

Getting off was the easy…trying to put it back was much harder !! Surprised mine was pristine as I doubt it had even been looked at ever before

Mine wasn't clean, but wasn't blocked either.
