Can I convert the rear blower to an air purifier by mounting a filter over the intake? Has anyone done it already?

Thanks.Using the existing rear blower assembly as an air purifier is a interesting idea. The intake for the unit is low in the truck on the passenger side. I don't think you would be able to get a MERV 13 filter to fit behind the plastic molding but you might be able to rig something up on the outside. You would want to provide a pretty large surface area for the filter so the airflow across it is not too high. Alternatively, you could look at something like the IQair Atem car purifier. It mounts to the back of the headrest, operates on 12V, and has HEPA and carbon filters. I have been thinking about one, but havnt made the purchase yet.
