I wonder what the thinking was when they designed it to be non adjustable!?

But then I suppose it’s a defender and I wonder about a lot of the thinking!! “a committee is a group of people who individually can do nothing, but as a group decide nothing can be done.”

I think that you are overestimating the amount of thinking that went on. There appears to have been relatively little.

I think the design was more for the 110, where the air had to be sent to the rear seats, and they figured the front occupants had the adjustable circular vents. --

I found the right distribution of air between windscreen, footwell and centre, plus there are two small smartphone holders in the centre vents. One actually holds the iPhone, the other a small notepad (paper), acting as deflectors (socks would not be approved by her Wink).

There is a 3D print design, but it looks strange...

That looks like a self-emptying ashtray!

The answer really is to turn off your aircon and open the window! Whistle It could be worse, our heater controls won't even turn to cold, so constantly get warm air blasting out! Laughing James

Check your heater cable exterior sheath isn't slipping where it clamps onto the valve in the engine bay - mine has been doing the same, but sorted with a small cable tie / tiewrap added to stop the slippage having made sure valve was in full closed position. super easy fix....
