    Hiya folks,

    Anyone also have a shedding dog and worried about their backseat air filter (for the battery) getting clogged up overtime and possibly leading to battery overheating?

    I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to periodically clean it, and or something I can use to protect it from getting too furry.

    All ideas welcome!

    Easy DIY cleaning, or if needed, replacement. The filters are cheap.

    The part numbers for these filters are : Passenger side G92DH-47080 Driver's side G92DJ-47010

    Your best defense is offense. Set a reminder in your phone and hit the hi-power vac stall at the car wash, clean it regularly.

    Just accept that the dog is going to shed a ton, and commit to regular cleanout sessions. Even every 6 weeks is great.
