Time to Vent on the Ventilated Seats!

FarmerFran · 07-13-2023, 03:11 PM

Ok,

Since you all got fired up about the wipers, let's talk ventilated seats.

In my 2020 2SS they where meh, at best - Leather
In my 2020 Ram fantastic - Real Leather
In my 2021 Challenger good - alcantara
In my 2023 ZL1 Fantastic - alcantara

I suspect the material has some to do with it.

Did you just have a milestone birthday perhaps?

I just got Black Suede Cobeau A4 racing seats installed on my 2nd gen around a month ago, which also of course does not have a/c. After a 30-ish minute drive this past weekend let me tell ya, regardless of what it’s in or what material seats they are, by god are seat blower motors a must have here in Az.

Easy fix just put a jacket or blanket behind the back of the front seats and the fan will blow all the cold air up instead of to the back your butt will thank you.

There’s no room in my car to do that - the upholstered package shelf (some people call it a back seat) is there.

I discovered vented seats for the 1st time in our 2018 Equinox Premiere, and its a must-have going forward. And I'm all the way up in Washington state, lol

LT4Greg · 07-13-2023, 04:47 PM

I don’t have an issue with mine. They work as intended and I haven’t used them probably 2 to 3 times since owning the Z(2019).

That was a bust about the milestone birthday. He goes
Through cars about as often as i change my underware.
What are you going to do now they have stopped making
Muscle cars? Anyways my C7 vent. Seats dont work well.
Farting produces more air.

CalgaryZL1 · 07-13-2023, 06:01 PM

Got mine set on auto with the the climate control, in Calgary it’s 31C one day and 10C the next, it’s great having both heated and cooled

Technically Ford says they will make one until 2030 - but neither here nor there...

I have my ZL1, so nothing for a few years. And after we shall see. Maybe electric muscle, maybe a - gasp Mustang, which they claim will be front engine, rwd and M6 through 2030.

Maybe I will buy another Truck and trailer. Who the hell knows,

this is about my Alcanara being more compliant to ventilated seats than my leather Camaro

Seems we have a professional venter [back] in our midst

I'm okay with them and I have leather seats. Level 1 is indeed useless, but 2 and 3 are good, I only need the fastest fan speed when it's 85+ outside.

Idk I thought the leather in my 2017 SS was better than the alcantera
