• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Please Help! Need Advice! (potential repair issue)

Follow up. I did the Kleenex test. I followed the instructions from my last post. First off. Set your a/c fan on high and therm to 65 degrees. Make sure your a/c vents are facing AWAY from the seat.

Next, I placed my hand to where I was barely skimming the seat cushion. As I moved my hand across the cushion, I felt a very, very, subtle layer of cool air coming up.

After that, I took a sheet of Kleenex, and placed it on the seat cushion, near the front. I then started to toggle the seat vent switch speed from 3-1 bars and kept toggling. As I was toggling, I did not take my eye off the Kleenex. I had placed the sheet near the front of the seat. As I continued to toggle the switch, the Kleenex started sliding from the front of the cushion to the back. I repeated this procedure several times. The Kleenex slid from front to back every time. So, it is a very slight airflow. Almost not discernible. Try that and see if you can repeat it.
If you have time, you should produce a video of this test! I think it would be helpful to any owners who aren't sure of their car's ventilation performance.
