Filter for Blower for Ventilated Seats
So I do work for the company that makes our Blowers for the Ventilated seats and I asked the person I deal with there if they can get me some replacement filters and he said they got new filters now that is just a Mesh tight (tight weave) instead of the felt material, It proven to perform better.
The image that I have included shows my dirty filter after 80k miles, a new felt filter and the new mesh style filter. I had no idea they can get soo dirty

I know that the blower that they use for our cars they also use in other cars, I'm not sure if the new mesh style filter has hit mainstream yet, and I am not sure how much they are, the guy that gave it to me made it sound like they are really cheap, for them anyway.
I just put my seat all the way up and stuck my hand underneath and you can feel the filter and turn it counterclockwise I believe and it pops right off and when putting the new one on, you can either try to get down low and see it or do it blind(which is what I did), It took a minute to put it on but I got it, and I do notice better performance from my clogged up dirty filter, seemed like it cooled faster.

I removed and cleaned mine a few months ago. Just raise the driver seat up and forward so you can get your hand under there. Do it from behind the seat. I was just kneeling on the ground at the driver side back door, reaching up under the driver seat and it was easy to find. Took it off, rinsed it in the sink, waited for it to fully dry, reinstalled it. Piece of cake.

With almost 26K on the car I went and pulled mine out and it looks almost identical to the middle filter in the picture, barely discolored at all which is good to know.
