    I did a quick search , but nothing


    It appears that only half of my windshield defroster is blowing.


    and of coarse its the passenger side that is working fine.


    The drivers side blows alittle, but I would say its 25% drivers


    and 75% passenger. just noticed recently.


    Any idea's on where to start looking?


    thanks in advance

    After removing radio to see if i could get a good look in there

    ( really cant get to windshield tubing, front vents tubing in the way )

    I stuck a flexible wire hanger down the windshild vent to see if i got anything

    and low and behold i pulled out a 2 inch section of 1/4 inch flat foam piece.

    Where it came from I have no idea, but the windshild defroster is working accross

    the entire front window once again.
