That's the rub, no one has had this done on their cars for more than a couple of weeks; so if there are any adverse long-term effects, no one knows!

I might be crazy, but I simply never run the a/c in my Yaris even with the triple-digit temps we've been having for the past month or so. I also drive an open Jeep, so maybe I am used to it, or I've killed all the brain cells that would've told me I am nuts; but since I most drive on freeways without a lot of stops on my commute, the two windows down method keeps me comfortable enough...and it sure feels great when I walk into the air conditioned house!

Cheers! M2

I already knew the answer to the question. I was just trying to figure out how he knew that there were NO longterm effects.....

Drove into town yesterday, around 100 degrees the AC is definitely colder. So I call this one a success. If the AC breaks for some reason in the future (I doubt it) I will take 5 minutes and cut the stuff off before taking it to the dealer so they don't have a (weak) reason to refuse the warranty claim.

You have the basic warranty or extended?

Got the "Gold" 100k warranty for $299. The finance guy started at $599 I said no until he got to $299. I said "I thought these Toyotas were supposed to be reliable is there something youre not telling me?"
Hard to sell one one of the most reliable cars on the market then convince you you should get the extended warranty don't you think?
