Cubbies below radio get hot
I recently purchased an 08 TL-S 6 speed with Navi. I noticed without the AC on the cubbies get HOT, almost too hot to touch. I ran the AC the other day and then it was cool. I know the vents to the rear are under there, so I'm sure this is the cause, but dang that's HOT. Has anyone else experienced this and has anyone tried to insulate it at all?

When I installed my short shifter, I accidentally knocked the insulating grommet that allows the mechanism that routes to the transmission out of place. It sits right next to the heat shield and the path of the exhaust. For a solid few months before I realized what I'd done...my cup holders would get extremely hot too. He's 6MT, there's a chance he has the same issue.

Nope. Trying to find out if anyone has tried to remedy it by insulating the cubbies. As hot as it gets I'm afraid to put my phone in there. I've been looking at pics to determine if there's room to fit insulation. I haven't found any great pictrures to determine that yet so I'll end up opening it up and checking it out.
