When the seat cooling was working, could you in fact feel any air movement thru the vents.. have mine on high all the time and don't seem to feel any coolness coming thru. Nothing compared to some other vehicles we have with vented seats..

Owned 1yr 2 weeks... Driven 8 months due to Northern climate.... 18300 miles, new PSS tires at 15000 miles and still push over 20mpg with my bad driving habits. The most expensive and and satisfying purchase I have ever made...just for fun. Car is newer than the day I got her tx to extras like Stage 2 Aero, Xpel,and cQuartz

My rattle was the plastic trim around the passenger side small window and my understanding is padding was added where plastic snaps engage panels and other places to prevent movement at joints which caused the noise.

I know where there is a 1/4 mile long rough section of road surface which brings out the rattles if you have any when driving 45 mph. I would move my hand around touching all the panels while driving (or have a passenger do it) and eventually one panel you press on will reduce the noise and that is usually the one i would tell the dealership to concentrate on.

I haven't paid much attention to that in mine, but I'll check it out the next time I use the air. My seat vents do work, but as you said, it doesn't seem to work as well as in my other car.

15k miles and 7 track days so far on our C7 Z07. Other than 3 sets of tires and 3 sets of brake pads, the car has been perfect.
