Draft on Passenger side

I drove 1200 miles yesterday, and my brother said that there was draft coming from just under the glove box. When it was my turn to sit in the passenger seat i also noticed a very cold draft coming in thru the area below the glove box.

Does anyone know a fix for this or why it is happening??

i get the same thing but the drafts come from the middle section of the both driver and pasenger doors(like where the window buttons are all the way across the door.

Close the door????!

:P LOL..just kidding!

If it is under the glovebox - what mode was the Climate Control set to? One setting is for vent air, which would push air through the vent beneath the glovebox. If that was the case, it would make total sense that you would feel air beneath the box.
If you feel a draft near the windows or doors, check the seals and make sure they are secure and making a 'tight' seal when closed.

There is an airbox that is vented to the outside located behind the glovebox. If someone has previously replaced the cabin filters for the ventilation system, it is possible that they didn't properly secure the cover to the filters. Should be easy to check. There is a DIY thread on changing your cabin filter, just do a search on "cabin filter".

Best of luck plugging the air leak.

I have the same problem. My cabin can be a very warm temperature, then I place my hand on the upper left portion of the passengers seat, and the leather is still very cold.

Sometimes I notice the draft when turning a corner, or going around a round-a-bout in our neighborhoods.

I get the same, but only if my roof is open! I even complained to Acura, but was told that the doors are not airtight around that area.
