SQOD, how does one get to the filter in question? I looked, and there is a whole lot of plastic surrounding the seat bottom.Just cleaned it. It was pretty caked with dust so hopefully that helps. Probably need to order a new one. Appreciate the suggestion.
Edit: Looks like I'm not the first person with this complaint
LX570 ventilated seats in Land Cruiser
I love my LC but the seats in the LX have Thigh extenders, and they sit a hair lower. I’d love a complete bolt in seatforum.ih8mud.com

I had an LX 450 years ago that did not have a roof rack, and it looked slick. As I recall, I had a generic set of crossbars tha I could clamp on easily whenever I wanted to put anything up top. Now I have a Prinsu rack which is full length but does have some mpg penalty.Stupid question that falls into the "only you can answer this for yourself, dumbass" category:
ROOF RACK DECISION:
I hate the stubby look of the LX570 roof rack. I'm getting rid of it one way or another. I also have never put anything on the roof of my car since a volvo wagon I owned decades ago. But in the back of my mind, I keep wondering if it might be handy to have a roof rack for my ladder or lumber or something at some point. I'm also concerned with the potential for Fking up the paint trying to set my ladder on the roof. My 16' collapsing ladder "sort of" fits inside the truck, but it's not super safe riding across the center console lid and folded seatbacks. It's not something I carry regularly, but there's always the potential for longer items, home depot trips, etc. But so far in my adult lifetime, I pretty much do not put crap on the roof.
So should I:
1) delete the roof rack altogether, naked roof look. I do like the look and I already have the OEM parts to accomplish this. MPG gain?
2) pick up a used LC rack, just to have it *just in case* I can probably get one for free locally. I don't love the look of the LC rack, but I like it a hell of a lot better than the LX rack.

Yep. Alaska style.Lux rat rod
It has toresen in the center and rear, may not be that hard to do.
On a W211 that is the best idea I have heard in a long, long time…
No, went with the redline ATF4.
I love how slick @ryanCA roof looks without the rack. Aesthetically, my vote goes to ditch the stock LX rack if not using it or go with an aftermarket..Stupid question that falls into the "only you can answer this for yourself, dumbass" category:
