All vehicles have vents which allows the pressure to "escape" when closing the doors. In the Taco its behind the rear seats, also where most of the road noise comes in. I wonder where the RL hides these vents? Unlikely that it's behind the rear seats as there is no gap between the bed and the cab. I wonder if the flaps in your vents, where ever they are, are perhaps stuck.

I don't think the vent is completely blocked, but it may let a smaller amount of air out than I'm used to. Most cars have an inlet vent with a HEPA filter (or at least some sort of filter), usually located somewhere below the dash. Could the Ridgeline be relying on that?

Well, unless I'm mistaken, I believe those vents are behind the rear seats on the G1.... so I don't think the above logic holds. 'Probably there on G2 also.... but I really don;t know... this is only a guess based on G1.

I have a problem with my cover also. Not the same. The leather is loose on the side beside the console. It just has a flap hanging down. Dealer says. "That's the way it's suppose to be"

Y'all have obviously not tried to close the door on a Jeep Wrangler.

At 1000 miles I discovered the transmission cooler was leaking.

On the dash it actually shows you which door didn't close all the way and it actually beeps and the tire pressure still shows on the dash. It's actually better than the G1 now since it shows you how much air pressure is in each tire now and yup they got rid of the heated windshield. You only get that in the Canadian version now which is a bummer.

Probably got rid of the heated windshield, not only to save money, but too many people were getting cracks in the lower part of the windshield when the heat was applied.

I was informed that it's "heated wipers" area and not the windshield. :frown: :surprise: :|

It's a heated windshield only in the lower area where the wipers are parked. I have never heard of the wipers themselves actually being heated.
