Default cab air filter

Question is there a air filter for the cab air quality. Just wondering due to bad allergies. I 'm sure driving with targa top off 95% of the time doesn't help. But I just can't stop myself from driving with top off. Thanks.

A few of the vendors sell an after market foam filter.

I can't recommend the aftermarket filter. It's a poor fit. I have one on the shelf I couldn't bear to install after I got it.

The foam might come in handy some day for something, but not for its intended purpose.

Your best bet is to just take some medication for the allergies. I understand you wanting to drive with the targa top off the car.

I will just deal with it. The ride with top off is well worth the inconvenience. Cotton tree's will stop soon. Thanks for the replies.
