#28 of 48 Re: Why does the A/C will turn on itself? [tyou08] by jacksan1 Mar 11, 2008 (7:04 pm)
Replying to: tyou08 (Mar 11, 2008 4:55 pm) The A/C, at least the manual A/C which is most common in North American cars (versus an automated climate control system), is always working to send in the chilled air. When it meats the heated air at the vent, the cold air is, in the strictest sense, canceling out some of the calories it took to heat up the air (or, in the reverse, the heater is canceling out some of the work the A/C compressor did). So yes, you could say that this action is not thermally efficient. However, the true benefit in this situation, just as you have pointed out, is that the HVAC system in your car is working in tandem to warm you up while removing humidity in the air to defog the wind screens. Seen from this angle, it is a very effective system. No, it is not the most efficient thermal exchange (not to mention the gas it takes to run the A/C compressor), but it may be better than not being able to see out your car!

Replying to: rgromerotn (Jan 28, 2008 6:34 pm) I agree it's normal. My ten-year-old Corolla does this, it's nothing new.
#30 of 48 Versa rear seat removal .... ? by atherton May 31, 2008 (8:38 am)
2008 Model Versa SL Hatchback. -I want to NON-destructively remove the rear seats ( and be able to re-install them later ) from my Versa. Has anyone else done this ? I am not sure of the method, 'cant find the bolts readily accessible, and don't want to indiscriminately pull all the upholstery apart looking for them. If the interior space can be made to flatten out more from the "trunk" area forward up to the rear footwell point, it would help me alot with my use of the space, even if it requires storing the seats in my garage for the duration.

No relpies indicate that this is not a subject of interest to anyone, but the removal of the rear seat and backs went successfully, Now the car is a two seat hatchback with a continuous flat cargo area accessible thru the rear hatch and the rear side doors.    I removed all the seat belts under the seats, replaced the bolts thru the floor pan with nylon bolts, and put down 2 layers of thick car insulation, with a cut-outs for the center hump and other obstructions. Then after fitting a 1/2" fiberboard floor over the insulation mat, I covered the board with a close-match carpet fastened with stainless steel staples to the bottom after cutting and folding it around the corners and edges. Two large nylon bolts hold it to the front of the floor pan bulkhead behind the back seat footwell, so there is storage there too. If anyone else wants to do this, I can send you more detail, and digital photos .

Replying to: atherton (Jul 05, 2008 4:12 am) Actually, your CarSpace page would be a perfect place to post an album of photos about this project, maybe even blog about your Versa.   If you need any help or have any questions about your CarSpace page, feel free to click on my username and pop me an email and I'll be happy to point you in the right direction.

Replying to: pf_flyer (Oct 04, 2007 6:05 pm) Actually , yes. I also have a 2007 Versa bought in Nov 2006 and the finish on my steering wheel is getting abraised in some spots. Never, had this happen on a car even after 10 years in the past. Also , the rear window rubber siding came loose twice.

computer problems kept me off several sites until the recent restoration I performed on machine, .... apologies for the lapse ....   while the paragraph I wrote above on how to do the rear seat removal and decking off of the interior for a flat cargo space seemed clear to me, I see it might not be enough explanation .... If you want me to email you some more info maybe there is a PM feature you could contact me thru.... or send me a phone number to discuss it live.
