I've noticed that above approx 50 mph I get a steady flow of cold air from the vents at the base of the windscreen. This is with the Heating/AC off and the dashboard vents closed. It doesn't seem to matter if I have the "circulate internal air" mode active. It is most noticeable as the outside temp [according to the car] approaches 40 F or below.
Is this a fault, or a known problem? Can it be fixed other than by stuffing socks into the vents?
My drive is a minimum of 125 miles per day, which means I use about 150 ideal miles because I'm on the NJ Turnpike at 70+ mph. For my own confidence level I'd probably start charging in Range mode if I had to run the heater on max for the whole drive as I've found that costs me approx 25 ideal miles per round trip... And I really don't want to have to charge in Range every day. I'm more likely to start driving in a hat, scarf and gloves, then I won't look so impressive when people pull alongside to wave and give a thumbs up (as happens almost every trip!). Any advice appreciated... Thanks!
