Perhaps I need line the trunk with a product to help keep the trunk cooler?
There are plenty of cars out there without the vents, and discussions about whether they are effective or not. Before investing in a liner, you could put a thermometer up there, take a drive and see what happens (a wireless one would let you see the readout in the cabin so you know how warm it gets when you're stopped in traffic vs. driving on the freeway).
The thermometer is a great ideal! I will want to try that. I took the car out today and now it seems fine. The ammeter stays at 0 amps when the radiator fans are off and when the fans are on it reads between 60-75 amps. I also installed a new radiator fan rely because the passenger side fan was not working. I used a 30amp relay meant for fog lights since I could not find the original. I think it should be okay.
