Do I simply need a "recharge"? It used to be ice cold but not anymore. I'm hoping this isn't an evap problem.

Mine is the same way. It's pretty cold in the center, but only cool for the outer ones.

Default Air distribution flaps....

Inside your dash, inside the a/c box are air distribution flaps/diverters. They direct air to vents. They are covered in foam. Over time this foam falls apart and get stuck inside the a/c box, and or comes out the vents. Any black foam pieces coming out your vents?

Your a/c controls electronic or manual?

Default Re: Air distribution flaps....

Haven't noticed any foam coming out of the vents. The ac controls are electronic. I have it set at "LO" temperature, and even the center vents don't seem nearly as cold as it used to get.
