Default Problem with cold drafts

I recently bought a new F-Type convertible model 2016.

Since a couple of days, I have an issue with the car.
On the right side of the drivers seat, somewhere near to the attachment of the seatbelt, there seems to be a cold draft.
It is extremely annoying, and putting the heating system on maximum does not resolve that.
I went to the garage, but they don't seem to find anything.

Does anyone has noticed a similar situation with this car?

Thank you!

Peter

I have a coupe but I do agree that the area of the cup holders stays abnormally chilly, probably from air underneath.

I've noticed it as well, but to me it's not obtrusive. In fact, I only notice it if I open the console, but it's coming from outside the console. I'm not worrying about it.

The only problem I have with cold drafts is trying to choose the right lager.

I recently tried Baltic Porter Stout, liked it a lot. Normally I drink lagers and pale ales. If you have a chance, try one.

Is your roof up?


No drafts here, try a draft excluder; Ice cold Vodka straight from the freezer, that'll warm you up!


Anyway, a Jaaaaag driver with draft...unheard of. G and T is more the Jaguar gentlemans choice!

I definitely don't have that problem on my 2014 convertible - and I live in the Northeast so it's pretty damn cold here!

Is it possible that only models with the new media system have this problem.
The module seems to be located between the seats, and is ventilated.
