    I just took off the two fans on my pip (as shown in the video above) and they were clean, no dust. It has 145k miles, I am suspecting there is a third fan somewhere for the pip. Is that true or is just the 2 in the back?

    i also noticed my PIP doesn't have a filter on the rear passenger seat. I'm about to follow the video and check the HV fans.

    does anyone else have a filter on their gen1 PIP? at the rear passenger seat?

    mine's a 2014 PIP and I followed a YT video to "replace" the filter.

    i looked at my fan around 50,000, and it was clean as a whistle. but i don't carry shedding pets or anything.
    even the air and cabin filters are very clean, i just tap them out.
