defrost only blowing on passenger side #1

Good day all,
before I start pulling stuff apart and unscrewing things, I thought I would ask the professionals first. We are firmly in the rainy season here in Atlanta and I have noticed that there is no air coming out of the drivers side defrost vent. The passenger side Vent has a good stream of air blowing through it when the fan is on. So, instead of bringing a towel to wipe my side of the inside of the windshield, I was hoping for some insight. I have a 76 B..

Thanks,

Anthony

Look underneath and see if the hose is disconnected. See post #7 here: http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,2220401,2220401#msg-2220401 for a picture.

The hoses underneath are not clamped to the pipes towards the vents, that's why. The drivers side just slipped off, it happened to me too this summer.
Get your head under the dash (not a very comfortable position I admit) and you'll see what I mean.

Putting it back on is simple, normally it will stay there by its own smileys with beer
