Exclamation leather seats = super hot

so we are having a nice streak of hot great weather here in the NW I've noticed just leaving my top down in the sun for 10-15min will make my seats so hot, even to the point where it hurts to touch it or even sit down!! Now I'm leaving my top up whebn I leave for a few min. I also condition my seats every other week so they won't fade but man our seats get so hottt I do luv leather though!

If I'm leaving the top down while parking Jun-Sept. I do this:

1. find a space in the shade, if none available see #2
2. Tilt the seatback all the way fwd. It shades the seat back and most of the seat bottom.
or
3. Place a microfiber towel over the seat bottom (I always have 1 in the car anyway). Do this for your GF, she might be tricked into thinking you are a gentleman.

What if you're trying to get rid of the g/f? Place a strip of metal on the passenger seat?

Nah! Just the all Black interior ought to do it if the weather is hot enough... Just keep driving south with the top down, stopping every 200 miles or so, eventually she'll crack.
