Passenger side vents not blowing hot?

[FreeLitres]

The car is a '98 Chim 500.

The drivers-side air vents blow nice and hot but there doesn't seem to be any air coming though the passenger side vents (upper and lower).

It's not much of a problem for me as the drivers side is nice and toasty even in winter, but Wifey says she gets too cold

Any ideas, other than buying her a new coat/jumper?

You could try taking the vent out and checking that the air pipes are actually connected. My old Chim had the same problem and I found that the pipes were not connected to the vents. A bit of duct tape and half and hour later and all was sorted and, from memory, it didn't require taking the top of the dashboard off either!
