AC quirk- is this common?

Maybe this is common in all Rangers,
My AC works great- but I've noticed it blows weak out of the left driver side vent. Is this a design quirk or is it just mine?

Every vehicle I have owned including my 2011 Ranger blows weakly out of the left side vent.

I suspected as much- just wanted to see if I should spend the time tearing things apart.

Its normal. You can get a different center vent with cutoffs if you want more air out of the left vent. they can be found in other rangers and explorers

I miss the center vents cutoffs.
Where can you buy them?...does the piece snap out?

Had them all around in my 94 and sadly by 08 the parts bin must have been empty.

another thing that makes it blow harder is if you close the passenger side one by the door. hope it helps

best thing to do is just get a bezel from a different truck that has them at a junkyard or ebay
