Exclamation Rear AC problem?

Is it me, or does anyone else have this problem. My rear AC blows very faint, as if its not on at all. Is this normal?

The car will get cool enough by itself, but I would think that the rear vents should blow hard as well. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I haven't noticed this but haven't actually checked. The rear passengers have never mentioned it.

Not sure if this has any impact, check the air flow control within the center arm rest (the beer cooler compartment) and see if closing that helps.

Check the side vent rails that duct the air to the center console vent...Seen SEVERAL loose ducts and the console get nice and cold ...but very little air out of the vent...remove the side carpet panels to inspect...also check the vent connection at the center console.... under the arm rest console..when people take the console apart they miss this item a LOT!!!

Where are the side vent rails located? Also you said to check center console; I was told in another forum to turn the vents off that is located in the center console, and that may improve air flow; Haven't tried that as of yet.
How do you get to the the hoses/vents that blow the air in the rear?

Remove the side panels on the console....Otherwise the console must be removed to inspect the duct work

Chk cabin filters. Before u do that thu, play with the climate control to see which one vents more to the rear. If no change, replace cabin filters.

(IF) The Fresh air filters were plugged ALL Vents would be restricted
Thats because the air is drawn through the filter BEFORE the Blower
Then to the vents....
