How to improve driver's air?

Get close control over the outside air vent.

Air intrusion will consume the good you are trying to do with the AC.

happy coaching!

Also making sure the drivers evaporator is good and clean with free airflow along with a clean filter will help tremendously! I can't tell you how many times I had drivers from other companies complain "my driver A/C doesn't work worth a crap" Only to find it was filthy and needed a new filter. After that it was good to go!
Once in a while they would need new brushes in the motor. (but not often because a working defrost is A MUST so the mechanics would make sure the blowers worked, but would often times either forget or flat out ignore the drivers evaporator & filter)

Also check your coils for the evaporator (inside) and condenser (outside) for dust buildup of the evaporator and road grime on the condenser,  Clifford showed me how clogged up my radiators were by simply shining a strong flashlight thru one side while I was on the other, I could barely see the light, when I should be able to see it clearly. there is a large spray can available for AC condenser coils, that you spray on and rinse off at hardware stores. Think of it like wrapping a blanket around your water heater to keep heat from escaping, only you would want to take the grime coating the fins off your condenser, TO let the heat escape, lvmci
