Still get hot air through the floor vents, especially on the highway and the temperature at the front vents gets to 140 unless I turn the defroster on (without the fan). Then it goes to 120. Brrr. Anyway...for another forum. More important things now...

I would assume the forward side. You said it happens when you're moving forward, cruising, that the heat coming from the vent gets very hot. Create a baffle that deflects that hot air like a backwards scoop.
Another idea would be to mount a small fan inside the vent, blowing outward, keeping the hot air from being sucked in.
