I have hot air blowing on me through the lower vents all the time.  I
have an 83.  I'm missing some of these pieces that blocks the air.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?  Hopefully, cheaply.  I seem to
want to fix this in the summers and my wife keeps thinking that I'll
fix it in the winter, when she likes the hot air blowing on her legs.
