I'd recommend that you find a friend who has access to a garden 
hose and ask him to drench your vents with it for a couple of 
minutes while you watch from inside the car. The most likely thing 
is that you have cleared out the hoses, but that there is a buildup 
of leaves at the entry point of one of the hoses, probably the right 
one, where the entry is blocked.

A soft wire can reach thru the louvers and drag leaves rearward 
until you can reach them with a long tweezers. You should check 
for leaves even forward of where you can see.
