pretty sure its thermoplastic and it wont "tweak" into a new shape without heat, which i dont recommend. if its a bad molded piece, theres not much to do than replace it. if its just partially "unhinged" or unseated in the mount, there may be hope. if you break it tho, at least you have a reason to get a new one. not that im saying you should break it

just heard back from ford on my seats. they have been in close contact with engineering on the matter. they have made temperature comparisons to another 2012 truck in their inventory and cross referenced the technical specifications regarding temperature tolerances and differences. apparently the system is designed to have a 10 degree difference between seat back and seat bottom. bottom being cooler. and since my seats fall within tolerance, they have determined them to be operating properly. fine with me. as long as i know theyre right, i have no complaints. maybe i wont experience kidney freeze, maybe i will if the conditions are ideal for what it takes. either way, the dealer was very pleasant to deal with on the concern and adressed my other concern as well. (a defect in the chrome ring trim piece around the cupholders on the console - yes minor, but hey I paid good money for the rig, i want it perfect)

I just have to remember when it's below 80° outside the truck won't automatically go to max a/c, I have to turn the a/c to where I want it before I shut down the truck. It's not often I remote start when it's under 80° outside anyways, so it's not much of a problem.
The back of my seats are cooled and works too. I was driving home today with the cooled seats on Low.
Had frozen ***** and a cool back....sorry to rub it in Tux.

My seats seem to be working better now. Dont ask me why. One little detail catches my attention tho and i wanna know if its normal or its from my seat being taken apart and put back together.
On the seat bottom, near the back corner where the seat belt receiver is, is the leather nice n tight or is there a little bit of slack? Say enough to be able to pinch the material?
