Question about maintenance of ventilated/cooled seats??

Is there any type of filter to clean, or any maintenance needed, to keep the seat vents flowing like they did when new? There is definitely a drop in performance of the cooling since the truck was new. Thanks.

Maybe use a vacuum to clean out all the goat hair?

I was actually wondering if vacuuming a lot would tend to pull more dirt from underneath up into the vent holes.

I haven't noticed it being a problem in my Gen 1. But I don't transport goats.

I know on the early Gen1's there was a filter in there. But they took it out on later Gen1's as my 13 did not have a filter in there. But there is a grill/cover that can get clogged and needed to be cleaned. I would expect they have the same kind of cover on the Gen2's.

the fart fan filter can get dirty like they said above. i have had my truck for 9 years now and i have never cleaned them. guess i should check mine too

There’s a filter?

Well, goat hair on the drivers seat? Are you sure it’s goat hair plugging the holes? Check for familiar odors, that might give you a better idea how to clean. You might consider using ***** training pads on the seat.

I would say loosen the debris with a horsehair brush and vacuum. Compressed air might push the debris/lint further into the perforated leather.

Come on FRF, stop scapegoating @Oldfart
