The biggest complaint I have with my Rubi is fresh air intake, or should I say the lack there of! I'm in a Jeep club and we travel together down dirt and dusty roads. The amount of dust that comes in through the "fresh" air vents is truly unacceptable. I looked into putting a filter over the cowl vent but soon discovered that if you open the hood you see why all that dust comes into the cabin.
The is a big gap between the engine compartment and the vent intake. Every bit of dust kicked up by the front tires or in front of you on the road just gets forced up past the engine and past the wiper motor and into the ventilation system. What a stupid design 
So it is no wonder you are getting hot air coming in, as it comes right past the engine.

Do dealerships know how to peerform this adjustment?
Is this something that a dealership has experience repairing or do I need to call dealerships to see who had addressed these issue and repairs?
Or do I leave it alone, knowing that other issue will arise from the dealership trying to do the repair?
