Default Seats too hot

I am in chicago now, despite the lame summer, my back always feels hot from the seats even with the air on full blast. Anyone else have this problem and how did you deal with it? I tried those beaded seat addons, but they really did not work and seemed kinda lame. Any advice?

I've not really had that problem and I live in TX with the hottest summer on record. Maybe I've got used to it....

lemme guess, charcoal interior?

If so, that's exactly why I chose the dove grey.

No cream colored leather. Man my air conditioning blasts cold too, so cold I could have Walt Disney next to me, but for some reason, your back stays hot. I don't think the seats have heater either. I just can't figure this out, it should not be as hot as it is.

Try a different seating position, different shirt, or drink more water...

I notice that sometimes on my Jag also. The air conditioner is great on the Jag.

I've got heated seats in mine. The car turns them off after ignition cutoff, so not likely yours is on accidentally.

Not sure what else to tell ya. Lean up once in awhile to get some fresh A/C behind your love handles?

Put sheepskin seat covers on the front seats. I've been doing this on all my cars for years. They are the next best thing to A/C ventilated seats (and a lot less expensive). They are warm in the winter and cool in the summer as they wick moisture away from your clothes/skin. They are also much more comfortable than sitting on leather seats (even nice Jag, MB or BMW seats) -- not as slick or clammy. Once you try them you will use them on all your cars.

Highly recommended.
