OK, never had that problem as we don't have much Humidity in Las Vegas

Yep - exactly the same, mate. And very annoying!! I too have crawled through the car to release from the inside. Not the most elegant of fixes!

They should be working in conjunction with your A/C and ventilate the cold air into them.
They do definitely take the heat out of the seats fast... and if that's all they are meant to do then I guess they are probably okay. Even if they are fan only, it still feels like cool air but that's probably because of how any blown air feels on the skin - i.e. wind, desk fan etc.

I thought they were cooled AC seats that work initially but then seem to stop. It all makes more sense now!

I just had 2 wheels replaced due to large clear coat runs. Passenger side panel in front of rear wheel chipped at corner, Dealer fixed that also. Hood latch replaced, Headliner replaced due to it was cut to short and passenger side didn't get covered by weather strip. In order to replace headliner they claimed the windshield had to be replaced too. I hope this list ends soon. And I thought my z06 was a POS.

Proper AC is mighty important right now...I do wish the seats had full blown AC. I'll likely never use the heated seats / wheel.
Yes, I believe you can run the recycle function either On or Off in the dash+floor vent setting. Floor vent only, I'm not sure. I only use that for heat. In the summer, I usually run dash+floor setting because I use the ventilated seats regularly. While not super powerful, I can definitely feel cool air coming up through the seat.

If they need to remove the windshield they can. The car is under warranty and I've had them replaced on other cars with no issues or sign of repair. It annoys me so I'm going to get it fixed.

Regarding the clunking the car has been up on the ramp at Chevrolet and they found no fault. Hmmm.

So it seems there is nothing wrong with my suspension. The knock I get over the bumps is only when I go other the first bump that day - it's the magnetic shocks sorting themselves out.

At 400 miles the dealer had to replace the steering rack as whomever built the steering for GM must have ran out of bushing or they were extremely defective. No issue since rack replacement and my odometer is approaching 6000 miles.
