Rear vents very weak

Rear vents very weak
Hi guys,
I have a 98 GS300. I am usually not in the back so I don't notice these things but when I tried to cool down the car the other day, I noticed that the rear vents are not working very well. I can have the fan turned up all the way and the fronts will be noisy and strong but the rear vents will still be only a whisper. Is there something I can check? Is something clogged?
Thanks for any help.

Heh, couldn't help putting that one out there...
On a more serious note, that rear vent is not very effective to start, just FYI it is fed by a duct that goes from the top center of the dash, behind the radio, then along the sides of the console and up to the vents. Not sure how strong a brand new car would blow from them, but I know it's not that great.
The only thing that could be a problem is if the door that directs the air is bad, but that's pretty unlikely. Possible, but unlikely.
I'll check on a couple GS' here and let you know roughly how they are.

It is fairly strong, enough to make say a piece of paper wave a little if you hung that in front, but not a whole lot more than that. Definitely won't make a strong wind.
