Cabin Air Filter Part #

[Enola Straight]

I have a 13 year old ES300 and was going to change tha cabin filter for the upcoming hayfever season.

Using instructions found on these forums, I opened the access panel and found...nothing.

Just a pile of debris where a filter ought to be.

At the local lexus dealership they wanted over 60 bucks for the filter

and the local Pep Boys and AutoZone have nothing in stock ( they would go for 30 to 40 bucks too) :cries:

Online I found this:

Are these filters the right part? Right part number and price?

The part numbers don't match the Lexus ones for your ES but that doesn't mean they won't work. They sound like a bargain and worth a try.

Update:

The filters just came by fedex.

The "up" arrow is on the smaller filter, so I know how to orientate the larger one.

I assume the two filters go in with the bend in the middle go in so the bend point faces the firewall? (to get around the gas pedal)

Also, the larger filter faces the firewall?

There's no instructions with these filters, so I want to get it right before I destroy something.

Just discovered how these filters work: Small filter slides in...and slides UP.

Then the big filter slides in UNDERNEATH.

I need to be a contortionist with at least 3 hands to do this ! :cries:
