Cold air blowing in the back?

I know there was a thread on this, but I couldn't locate it....but does anyone know how to fix or the reason for cold air blowing thru the rear of the vents in the back? I have tried turning up the heat but it still blows cold, is this a issue that the Nissan dealership can fix or some thing I have to deal with?

Thanks....

I have the same issue with my SE. It seems a little warm but nowhere near as close as the front vents.

I have the same issue. The does eventually warm up, but not to the levels of the front vents. I am under the impression that it's due to the length the air has to travel in order to reach those rear vents. On cold mornings, it makes some sense that the air would cool somewhat by the time it reaches the rear.

I get cold air blowing up through the door controls! Did Nissan NOT line the doors with a plastic sheet, like I have in my Toyota?

OT- What use is the center console button (mine is blank) inbetween the two seat heater switches? I have an SE and wondered what went there. Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken that's where the switch goes for the sun shade in the Elite package.

You got the "air conditioned door switch" model. Don't make too much noise or everyone will want that feature.

Dang! And the door control holes on my SE are always so hot. I've always wished they hadn't skimped on this car and had just air conditioned these holes like everyone else does.

Actually, you where right it did warm up eventually.....thanks. We does irk me though is that when I go thru certain controls it kicks in the AC automatically (that is annyoing, but tolerable).

Yes, it is the switch for the sun shade on the 4 seat models. The 4 seat Se model has heated seats in the rear as well as the sun shade switch.

Heated rear seats in the SLs with 'elite' also. I think the elite package is exactly the same for both SE and SL.

I was wondering is there a fix for this issue? I just bought a 2008 Max SE and I am having the same issue.
