Default Hot as hell!

On a positive note. Its getting real cold up here in Canada. I thought I would have an issue with the heat in the Jk because there are no heat vents going to the rear seats. Nope, that thing blows heat better than anything I've ever owned! Its almost hard to keep your hands on the vent because it gets hot!
For once they got something right! Canadians buy Jeeps too!

I have noticed the same thing. They got the air correct on this model.

It is super hot for sure. I love it. Has any of you had any problems setting it to defog? (up at the windshield) Mine does blow on the windshield, but the knob doesn't like to stay in that position. It always backs off about a 1/4 inch.

Nope mine stays in that position. Bring yours to the dealer, that shouldn't happen!

Out of warranty. I have 68,000km's. I may have something back there blocking it. I once took my glove box all the way out only to find some papers and 2 CD's that I was missing sitting on top of the blower motor. Guess I have to stop being lazy and have a look.
