Default Cold air coming in

So the temperature dropped this weekend. And i noticed i have COLD air coming into the cab from somewhere under the center console. I crawled under the jeep to see if i had a hole, or a boot missing. Everything looks ok from the bottom side. Anyone have this problem/solution?? I really dont want to take the center console out if someone has a fix.

I never had that, but every cherokee i owned and my friends xj....they all have cold air blowing from along the drivers door. Going down the highway you can feel it coming from where the hinges would be on the door...

never had anything from the console tho.....crawl underneath with a light and see what you see

What about where the antenna wire comes in? The grommet could have come out.

A little trick for more air in the front area... take out the plumbing in the center console that goes out to the back. When i did my console swap, i didnt have the plumbing to go in the console, and the heat distributor would not work with the full console. Take out that heat distributor, and you'll feel LOTS of heat at ya feet And your console will be very warm lol

When i trimmed my fenders i tore out the plastic piece inside the wheel well which makes air come from my hinge area, but now i get random air flowing into the passenger side floor board nowhere near the door... No idea why
