Hot Seat

Recently returned from an Okanagan trip in 35° weather. "Cooled" seats were anything but. Sweat thru my shirt. Cooled seats in my '22 Ram pickup on 'low' setting can be too cool. Have I got something wrong, or is that the best I can expect from a C8?

Sorry to hear it .....

My stingray was an ice box ... seats cooled well ... and looks like my Grand Sport works even better ... could be an issue ?

The "cool seats" in a C8 are not cooled. They have a fan that blows cabin air on to the bottom of the seat. If your a/c is on upper vents rather than feet then it will not be as effective.

Many think they have 'air conditioned seats'.

Sometimes, a bit of plastic seat wrap from the factory might be lingering on the underside of the seat. Check for that, and remove.

Perforated leather seats in the C8 feel less cooling versus the ones with Alcantara.

I tend to agree, compared with other seats / brands - the C8 doesn’t seem to push as much air through

Still a nice feature to have on hot days

I find that feature completely useless

Agreed. I never use it. When I want air in my seat I'll blow it out my ass.

I find the 2LT seat vent works well with a 20c ambient temp or cooler.
25c and warmer is pretty useless.
Try using Murray's suggestion and see if it makes a differebce.
Maybe in the C9 they will put in an actual AC seats?

May only be beneficial in the Fall/Winter using your method?

I find you do that a lot!
