My heater doesn't heat my feet enough..

When I select the floor mode it seems like fifty percent of the hot air goes through the defroster vents and my feet still get cold.
Is there an adjustment inside that can be done or am I stuck?
Does everyones car do this or am I lucky?
I like the idea that SOME of the air goes through the defroster vents but it seems like way to much.

there is a setting for the defroster and floor. Make sure it is only on the setting for the floor. i think mine does just fine no problems here.

I mostly do the front vents and the floor. I close the passenger side, and put the middle ones down at the shifter where i keep my right hand. The driver side one i position it so it blows where i keep my driving hand on the steering wheel, seems to be my favorite positions for the vents.

Yup when my car is set to the floor only, I get quite a bit of air out my defroster vents.

And my feet stay very cold.

You probably have a problem with your heater. I live in Quebec and since two weeks the temperature is below -10 celcius. My favorite position is defrost and floor. I never feel the cold on my feet after the war up od the car !!!
