I get zero airflow from those vents...is that just the way it is with these, or is that actually a warranty issue?
They probably just put the dang things there to shut people up knowing very well that they wouldn't function lol.

With no functioning rear heat this is gonna be a cold winter for folks with passengers or kids. Why in the world would they have no functioning rear air vents of some sort for winter or summer?

I guess it will be up to the aftermarket community to build and sell a plastic air duct to the rear seat area....

I was installing my brake controller today and when I had the center floor bezel pulled, I noticed the branch connector for the rear was not connected to the arm going under the bezel and to underseat. It snaps in up top to the junction below the climate controls and then just wedged/sandwiched with foam around the lip into the arm heading to the rear. May want to check that in yours.

The F150 Screw's aren't the best for air flow to the rear either. Every time we wanted to cool our dog down in the back we would close all of the vents in the dash and that seemed to help considerably. Even on what should be a refined platform rear air flow was subpar.

Is the rear airflow decent once you did that?

I put a sheet of tissue-paper in front of them thinking it may just be a very small flow and nope... nothing at all.
Mine as well. No air at all from rear vents, weak air to front floor vents but I hear a lot of moving air being baffled under the center of the dash.

Did no one grow up with cars that had no rear vents? Blast the heat and aim the middle vents straight to the back?

I'm unfamiliar with the 'center floor bezel'. Is that a piece under the dash? thanks

The trim piece that surrounds the shifter and includes the cup holders (between the dash and the center console.

Thanks, without a repair manual (Haynes, etc.) I wanted to make sure before I started tearing my Bronco apart.

I have no air flow either. Tried all settings. Has anyone taken this issue to the dealer?
2Jeeps&PatriotX1, Once you removed the bezel were you able to fix the air?
