Cooled Seats

Why is it near impossible to find cooled seats on a used or inventory GLC?

Does anyone have this option? Do they just not work well?

Really want this as an option, but looks like I'll be forced to order one.

I have it. They are really just vented seats. I also have them on my E63, and they work about the same: not very well. MB is known for their vented seats being meh. My 2009 Avalanche cooled seats are much better.

I have this option on my 16 GLC and I'm not impressed.

A better description of the feature is, the seats are ventilated, not cooled.

With mine on high setting I can barely feel any air movement.

My suggestion is don't spend your money on ventilated seats...Intelligent LED Headlights on the other hand.

Is this not the description used by MB? ie 'ventilated'.

No matter what you call them, they are impossible to find.

I have the ventilated seats on my 16. They are just ok. Had to get them with my leather interior.

Are the ventilated seats better when the a/c is on? That's how it was in my Grand Cherokee

GLC300/SL550
I got a fairly well optioned 17 off the lot but the only thing I would have liked is the vented seats but that adds the leather option which I think is 1500+ so the dealers don't order that on their lot cars.
