Cars with front console cupholder cooler, youre robbing your face of cold air!
So I didnt do a DIY, but the other day while driving with my center console out I noticed a ton of cold air coming out of two tubes directly under the dash (basically where the front ashtray/oddments tray will be. On a whim will sitting at a red light I covered both tubes with my hands, and wouldnt you know it the air coming out of the top vents very noticeably got way more aggressive.
After brainstorming for a bit I remembered I had some upholstery foam in the garage, so I proceed to trim some and simply plug these tubes up, and then re-install my center console. I am very happy with the results, as previously even on max cool I have never been that impressed with the blower motor efficiency of my E92...Now I am very impressed. Moral of the story is that unless you are constantly cooling beverages in that front console, do this mod and be happy and a few degrees cooler for the remainder of the summer months. |
