    I just purchased my 09 Tacoma and found one colder morning that the driverside window does not defrost?

    When I put my hand on the dash it is blowing strong on the Passenger side but almost nothing on the driver side.

    Any input?

    Thanks Chris:confused:

    Yes
    Stop breathing? :notsure:

    And welcome. Have you looked to see if you have something living/growing in the vent?

    Yeah we checked that. I was hoping that it would be so simple.

    Toyota says there is a replacement part to fix the issue for $100 but it takes 6 hrs of labor to install it. Ouch.

    Thanks
    :eek:

    What is Toyota claiming to be the root cause of the issue? Have you trie closing the center vents to see if that helps the driver vent?

    could the duct have come disconnected just inside the vent?
