Default A/C vent

has anyone noticed the a/c vent on the drivers side above
the console will not turn enough to get air to the driver?
it stops pointed at the center console. after careful inspection
I found a stop molded below the slide which does not let the
vents go past the center console. rather than let the dealer
screw it up I decided to cut the stop off. I used a sharp knife
and carefully and slowly cut it off. it works great now.

Thanks for the heads up. I noticed the left drivers vent had some limitation also. I had just left the dealer with it and the control was sent to panel. Once I figured out how to change the air flow I forgot about it. I will have to look at both tomorrow. I don't want to drive it in the snow and salt anyway.

Mine does the same thing but it like to go to the right when the vent is set at a higher speed.
