I went flying last night and my cabin was COLD. even with full heat, drafts seems to keep the temp in the 50F range. OAT 11F @ 3000.

I get drafts from ordinary and odd places. Here are the top 3 draft locations.

1. Door. Bottom rear corner mostly, can this be adjusted easily?
2. Inertial reel seatbelt reel. This air comes out like the jet stream blowing right to the back of my head. I'm not sure but I suspect a ducting leak in the overhead.
3. Overhead speaker. Yes, cold air comes OUT of my speaker! again suspecting a leak under the headliner.

If anyone has tips or experience with this, I'm all ears. I have owned my challenger for nearly three years now and I don't remember it being this cold in there!
