I don't know a quick fix, but I would save my hard earned money and not buy any of items you have suggested. I  personally open the windows and have the fan blwing on cold..... :y

Having owned a number of cars with A/C, C/C i would never go back to one without. It's far too important in this weather.
By far the best A/C was in my Pontiac. If anyone has owned an American car would agree that they do the coldest :y :y
Fans are ok, but as said before "open a window"

Yes Pete, and I have always put that down to the fact that (real) American cars have 4 litre, 5 litre, 5.5 litre or upwards engines which can cope with the biggest and best a/c units being bolted on.  No wonder they are so efficient; built for long haul in the hottest of conditions! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

Well, first things first... my GLS does not have climate control or A/C and it is shame I have now spent a fortune on it.. so cannot swap or sell it.

Looking for internal fans/ cooling solutions.

Any recommendations?

or any other you reckon works.

Thanks :y
I think those dash-mounted fans look really tacky. But then I've just had my a/c recharged on both cars!

In the Senator (it had a/c but I didn't always use it)  & Omega I found the sunroof open with the nsr window down was a very pleasant breeze for the driver. osr window for the passenger.  It stopped the low-frequency noise from the sunroof-only option.

Do you have a sunroof?

For the sake of a few days a year, why bother?  Many of us survived many years without a/c :D :D :D
