    Hot sunglasses tray?

    Does anyone elses sunglass tray get hot inside when you have the heater on? Mine sure does. I was just wondering if it's normal or if I could possibly have a heater duct leaking or maybe not fully connected. Never had the dash apart before myself but maybe the PO might have. I sure hope he didn't butcher the ducts to put an different radio in it.

    Thanks.....Barry

    Does it get super hot or a little warm?

    I don't know if I'd say super hot but it's definitely more than just a little warm. I'm sure it's caused by the heater so if there isn't a leak blowing on it then it must be right up against the ductwork.

    I'm guessing that BEHR piece shown here is the heater core and if so that is right in the area of the tray so I'd imagine that would be pretty warm.

    My whole center console gets noticeably warm to the point where I don't like leaning my right leg against it when I do long distances. I'll try to make a point to feel in the sunglass tray tonight after my commute home.

    Hmmm.....can't say I've noticed that before. Now I'm going to have to check that out next time I have my car out.

    Thanks......Barry

    3 e46'ers later and they all do it. More than "a little warm" is right.

    Thanks Rick, at least I know it's nothing to be concerned about. A person could keep some food warm in there. LOL
