Default I'm disappointed with the seat coolers

I'm disappointed with the seat coolers, I put it all the way up and i don't feel anything. the only way i feel anything is when i move away from the back of my seat for a minute or so. Anyone else have this problem?

They are seat ventilators, not seat coolers. I agree that they are worthless, but many others on the forum love them. Some people have found that setting the A/C so that cold air is directed to the floor is helpful. Consider searching, as this topic has been debated here many times before.

i find them useful to a certain degree... like was mentioned, try setting your A/C to the floor setting and you should notice a little more ventilation

I'll let you know my thoughts after my car's first Texas summer. Right now I think they are great. Like nabisco mentioned... they are great after a good workout.

Yea I think that's how it works. It isn't cool enough to use without AC. I think that sucks since I usually like driving with the window down.

First, how big is your @***, bro ?

Second, how many layers of cloths did u wear? Next time, try only with the boxer on.

Last, they are not COOLER BOX.

They work great to us. They heat up nicely to take the chill off in the morning and cool well when it's warm out.

Just don't understand the digs here about a great car, it seems most of what you hear here are complaints. Damn I love my car and appreciate all it's features every time I drive it.

Gtidan/

we all love our car's .. and that's why we complain about every little thing .


if u had a piece of junk you wouldn't notice a new rattle or little things like that cause you don't care.

we just want everything in it to be perfect .. but we have a saying here that means you wil never find anything perfect in this earth.
