Default Hot air blowing in through the emergency brake opening

Take the top down and my arm gets cooked from the air blowing up through the brake opening.

This happening to anyone else or did honda forget a boot?

Very common. The cup holder compartment gets hot as well. The engine compartment heat and transmission heat contributes, I think. I found that after many thousand miles, this has diminished; I think with engine, transmission breakin and changing transmission fluid at least a couple of times, there is much less heating of the cup holder, perhaps due to cooler running car.

Thanks.

I think there should be a boot like on the shifter to block the air flow.
