Where is it you live where its COLD this time of the year?? I was in
shorts and a t-shirt all day today. Much too hot to wear jeans at 85
degrees. (Oh yeah, I forgot, I live an a 2 climate region... spring,
summer, spring, summer. My bad. LOL!) 

What you can do is manually move the selector lever over. (Know the one
im talking about?) 
The heater system uses a valve located on the heater hose in the engine
bay. If you go into the engine bay and move the lever over as far as it
will go, this might be worth a few extra degrees for you.
Since im climactically challenged, that's the only help I can offer you. 
(Except for sticking cardboard in front of the radiator. Did that way
back when I lived in Germany.) 
HTH!
