    I was doing the wireless charging tray install and noticed what seems like a very easy way to ventilate the inside of the center console. There is only a very thing piece of plastic between the console and the rear vents. I'm thinking drill a few small (1/4") holes in an orderly pattern so that some of the cooled air can enter the center console.

    Any one see any issues with doing this?

    Less flow to the rear. Why do you need to cool your console?

    I'd use it to chill the 20 kool-aid squeezes I have stored in there.
