Hot air coming from around top switch

[nreuben]

Sometimes I notice hot air coming up through the console around the convertible top switch, particularly with the windows down. Is this indicative of some problem or missing shielding?

thanks

The cooling water tubes coming from the engine to the front radiators are located under the console, although separated by the car under plate, but hot enough to warm up the console area. The reason why it felt more or different, with the windows down is a change/disturbing of the in-car air flow by the heater/AC fan. Nothing to worry about as long as smoke will stay out. :)

Thought it might be something like that, but seemed to come on all of a sudden - wondered if some trim or cover piece came loose. Most of the time I don't notice it, and no smoke so far...

Thanks!
