    On longer drives, the space under my center console becomes extremely hot. The ashtrays are hot to the touch. Car is not running hot, but the heat through the center tunnel seems excessive. No wonder the plastic parts warp. I realize that the cooling pipes from the radiator run down the center of the car and are the cause of the heat. Has anyone added extra insulation etc. to combat this on their Mondial?


    This is in my 1988 cab.

    Thanks, John

    I know what you're talking about. This is the only real negative I remember from my Mondial ownership. I did many long trips on summer time and that was really unpleasant.
