Why not post your vent temps for reference then? :sneaky:

I hate to say it but removing water stains from this material is difficult because it is so fragile! If you can live with the stain I would just leave it alone. Even if a detailer using a cleaning agent which might make it look better it may affect the durability of the material in the long run...

Well we wanna know what he said...the suspense is killing me. :p ;)

Yes, even speak to the tech that worked on it! Sometimes the RO or service writer won't understand the mechanical aspects of what you are talking about. Talk to the tech if possible and ask him EXACTLY what he did. Thanks

I hear you! Sadly if you take your car to MOST dealership shops to be worked on more often than not they will actually make the situation worse, or damage other unrelated things..I once had a service writer at a dealership state to me (chuckling under his breath too!) "Many times we have to...

What sucks is that you have to have the headliner removed or lowered to get at the problem. I cringe when I think of the typical "tech" doing that work. One thing that does help is if you as the customer can help pinpoint the source of the leak before the dealer starts tearing things apart...

I thought these lights have venting on them (in the rear of the units) and unless there is visible water lying at the bottom on the fixture the condensation droplets aren't an issue and will disappear when the lights are on for a time or when the weather drys up.

I've prepped new cars for decades and it DEFINITELY looks like one of the PDC guys accidentally sliced through the plastic seat protectors with their X-acto knife while cutting the plastic away. Also razor blade scrapers (along with glass cleaner) are used to remove monroney label sticker (I'd...

Yes, seems like worth the effort to try and fix this yourself if possible by using some silicone caulk, Even though that stain doesn't look pretty I would NOT want the typical dealership removing my headliner since most of these places break more things in the process...if possible do NOT have...

Many times the techs in the trenches will find more efficient ways to deal with these things that allow them to make shortcuts. It's being going on for almost as long as there have been repair manuals written. :giggle:

That looks like someone was removing the plastic seat wrapping or monroney label with an X-acto knife! I used to work in new car prep PDI/PDI and although it wasn't approved of some guys would use them. I'd still document this damage with RAM Care (open up a ticket) even if you don't get it...

No I didn't even consider that aspect, because it is "ASSumed" :ROFLMAO: :p that the unit will start producing cold air within a minute or so, but of course you also have to take into considering "heat soak" which is involved so if the car is sitting outside on such a day it might take more...

Care to be more specific with the exact temps since you have that excellent FLUKE (they are really are as good as they say) meter. Thanks.

No, it's spot on. I've been working on cars for decades. From a practical stand point (from the consumers view) those conditions and temps are a good indicator that the AC system will be up to the task of providing a quick cool down, and be able to adequately maintain that comfort, especially...

Best way to be sure about the operation is to bring that accurate thermometer with a problem and stick it in the drivers side vent with AC on Max AC, with recirculate on, max fan speed, and ambient temp at 90 or above and humidity at 50% or above with the car at idle in the shade. Optimal for...

Pretty sure that the occasional system turning the recirc off is designed that way, it's safety measure to keep the air from getting stale or contaminated with CO. I'm sure the way it functions can be changed with the FCA scan tool but the dealers won't do it for liability reasons. Best bet is...

Sniff sniff.....hmmm work for FCA, marketing arm, or a RAM dealership? :sneaky: :ROFLMAO:

You have no concrete evidence to back up your observations, and all it would take is a inexpensive thermometer to do so. Since that is the case I would bet your vent temp in 95 F with 50% humidity, on recirc with fan on medium speed would be around 59 F. haha.:p

You response is quite defensive, and that is odd. Smells of diversion. :sneaky:

If nothing else it clearly indicates that FCA doesn't care about their customers. That's the bottom line when you consider how critical a "good" AC system is for many customers in hot climates.
