My Acura TL is the first car I've purchased with leather seats and I
definitely don't like them.  They are way too hot in the summer - anyone
have a way to cool the seats?

some ppl put on sheepskin covers...acts like insulation.  I personally dont
like sheepskins...it hides the beautiful leather

leather is a nice bonus.  I'd rather cloth.  Been to japan and they don't
typically use leather in the high ends.  too much pain in the a.s.  haha

Tinted windows. And AC.

the only serious solution I've heard is in the Lincoln SUV.  They actually
pump AC air into the seats. Talk to your local Lincoln dealer, maybe they
have a kit.

My '02 Pathfinder has perforated leather.  It is definitely better then just
plain leather.   You could toss some money toward a trim shop and have your
seats perforated.

Enjoyed your responses!  I live in north central PA - can't get a lot
colder, but it still gets hot in the summer.
Found this product and told my son to get it for me as a Christmas gift.

That should do the trick - I don't like sheepskin either.  Also heard some
Cadillac's have AC seats, but that and a Lincoln are not my style.

I can't see this thing lasting for more than a few days, not to
mention that it's probably much more hype than action.
