Not good enough. You will definitely notice a difference with new ones. I replace mine (I have the seats on auto) every year 12-15K miles.

OK I guess I'm ignorant but what is a seat filter? I know of the cabin filter but never heard of the seat filter....

Hmmm..I figured it had something to do with that. I'll probably check mine today since my cooled seats don't get very cool. I'm assuming I set the seat to the front as far as possible. Is it pretty obvious if I look around under there?

The owners manual suggest you move the seat all the back but I found it easer to move the seat all the way forward to get at them from the back seat foot well. Once you have taken them out once and put them back you can do it by feel, the round filter cover twist out and in, very easy, and having clean filters do make a difference in the cooling feature.

So I checked it out and mine look pretty dirty-probably why not much air blows through my seats.... Can I pick these up at an Autozone or only from a dealer?

Haha - yea I saw that and no offense to NYC, but I live about 2 minutes from an Autozone and if they carry them it would be easier than getting em shipped to me.

Where are they located and how do you remove them?

I just found and checked mine... they look perfect.
Completely white and very clean.
My car is four years old and doubt they were ever changed.
Would they look dirty if they need to be changed out?

Good for you., I think youll find that the heating and cooling of your seats will degrade over time and stress the the blower fan. Like an Ls owner needs another problem? I have an 04 and everytime I change a filter or do a service I think it runs a little better. I love taking this car to NYC. or A.C. after its all cleaned up. Still turns heads. Good Luck

Again, just use can air and blow from them inside to out side then rinse them under water from the inside to the outside(opposite from their normal air flow) or just run water through them. Just did mine last week, like new, they are not a thick/dense filter like air intake filter.
Talk about resurrecting an old thread...
Where did you get this fantastic price. I tried using compressed air to clean the old filters to no avail. I did wash them and that helped considerably but I fear some (if not a lot) of the "fabric" came off the filter. The best price I'm seeing is around $13 per and I really wanted to get 8 of them (2 '06 LSes).

They're $14.14 each on Ford Parts Giant.
$12.36 from Tasca.
$11.89 on Rockauto.
Three years ago, it's very possible they were $8 somewhere.

Thanks. Apparently the filter has seen a considerable price increase!
