Dear sir or madam,

In the front of the car the air vents blow cold air the manner in which they are supposed to. But in the back, it seems like very little air is coming out of the rear air vents.

How can I rectify this problem?

Thanks,
Chris

This sounds like the mode actuator is weak and not closing the blend door correctly. Here is a guide to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car:
