Thanks for all input so far. I am not sure if the A/C has something to do with it, since the heat is ok. Problem is missing air circulation at the side vents. The windshield has a lot of air, so no problem with fogging there. The upper vents in the middle blows ok as well.
Maybe this missing foam thing could be an issue. Have not seen any foam in the vent in my ownership.
Where can I check to foam situation? And can it be fixed if this is the failure?

Unfortunately, if the baffles have missing foam, it's very difficult to fix. The proper fix would be to remove the dash and heater box.

People on here have posted shortcuts, by cutting into the heater box.

There are some good links in this thread:

Thanks.
I have done some searching. It seems that it is quite possible to reach the flap and take it out from the front trunk. If the foam are gone on mine as well, it should then be an easy task to glue some new foam back.
Seems like the attached file describes the job quite good.
