Dave S was right on the money.

I did have some debris on the evaporator screen that I vacuumed out 
which I'm sure helped a bit, but the primary culprit was the foam 
cover over the large rear hole in the box. The glue had probably dried 
up and a large portion of the foam block was loose and flapping free 
(exposing a large hole in the back of the box).

You have to be a bit of a monkey (long arms with a couple extra 
joints) to get back there, but you can feel your way around from the 
driver's foot well.

Thanks everyone for the tips and help with the airflow issue.

Knut
