    Update: I got window tinting done with ceramic film, and it has made a huge improvement. 35% in the front, 50% in the rear. This is darkest legal in AZ.
    Also got bored yesterday and made hood spacers from a bar of zinc plated steel with holes in it. Really slim, might use them as a template for thicker ones someday. Or maybe not. If anyone is interested, the holes need to be spaced exactly 60mm on center. This in combo with removing the weatherstrip leaves a good size gap to let hot air out of the engine bay.
    I will probably wait until cooler weather to install the fan to be ready for next summer.

    I hate these threads. My 2009 AC system is working perfectly. And here it can be 110’ in the summer. I worry that it’s gonna quit on me. And you just know it’ll happen in the summer, in the middle of nowhere

    I hate these threads as well, but this is the reality of owning these vehicles now, and these threads help bring awareness and help participating members take the proactive steps necessary to keep their behinds cold on the hottest of days.

    Well for what it is worth my AC compressor has been leaking out the refrigerant from the main shaft seal slowly over the course of this summer.

    Going to start saving my pennies for a full compressor replacement during winter 2020 because I know next summer it will not foot the bill for the Indian summers out here.
