It's not that they get plugged up. The heater channels in the rocker panels 
just rust out and eventually things get to the point where all the warm air 
leaks out before it gets to where WE want it to go.

Even if everything's working fine, it's still helpful to: close off the heat to 
under the back seat (send it all to the front,) and open a vent window to let 
the old air out.
