severe cold draft coming through back seat corners both side

Having extreme cold weather currently and usually just myself and wife in the car and we both have heated seats. Our daughter was home for Christmas/New Years and we all decided to go shopping. Daughter kept complaining about how cold she was in the back seat. Since Subaru doesn't offer rear heat in the Forester I cranked up the front blow. She continued to complain that the seat was so cold. When we got home and pulled into the garage she noticed a SEVERE cold air draft coming from the corner of the seat between the back and base. The door was still closed and I reached over and the other side had the same draft. Anyone hauling children around might want to check into this or shove a towel in that area to stop the draft.

Subaru is known for how it handles in the snow and really needs to address this issue ASAP. Tom
