    I drive a 2008 model and I'm not really having much problems with heat radiating from the seat. Or maybe I'm just not noticing it because I'm always running the a/c at full blast?

    I always have the ac on also but sometimes i tend to roll down the window and ac off.
    and that's when i noticed it.

    1. see if you can insinuate roof insulator (yung may aluminum foil and foam backing) between your seat and the sheet metal.
    2. try one of those 4 or 5 inch black plastic electric fans whose support plugs into the cigarette lighter socket. it's available in mall auto accessory stores. aim the draft towards your seat or legs and experiment on which position offers the best cooling.
    these worked with me and my besta. but i have since sold the van. my vehicle's engine is now in front of me. natuto na ako..
