Cold draft ?
Funny you mention this....I just noticed it the other day too. Granted, it was about 3 degrees out and I was waiting on the dumba** to open up the gym at 5:00am (they always seem to be late)
Anyway, after sitting for a few minutes in the parking lot with the heat running, I started to get very warm and was tired of wasting gas. So, I went ahead and shut off the H3, figuring that it would stay warm until they finally opened up. Within 2 minutes of sitting there with it off, I could feel extremely cold air coming into the cabin....as if it was leaking in from outside somehow and not just the built up heat slowing escaping. I started feeling around with my hands to see if I could tell where it was coming from.....and about that time the guy shows up and unlocks the gym doors so I quit my draft search. If I remember correctly, it seemed as if it was coming from under the seats, almost as if there were huge holes in the floor. Maybe it was coming from under the console area too, between the two seats.
I'm on my way to the gym now, I'll try to remember to check some more when I get there and see if I can feel where it's coming from and post more later today.

no luck today, it was 45 degrees out and too warm to feel drastically cold air coming in.....i could have sworn though that it felt like there was a huge hole in the floor before and the extremely cold air was blowing right in. maybe i'm going nuts?
Take the beast to the dealer or somebody with a lift so you can walk around underneath and look for any body panel plugs missing from the floor panels...But unless you have recirculate selected the car always gets fresh air through the vents.
Shade closed ... But that is a a very cold area when open in the winter.. No panels off or anything wierd like that . It's not like it's worth a 45 min drive to the dealer it's just something I noticed
