    Hi!
    In the winter the front passenger floor get colder than the rest of the car. Only way to keep feet warm is to take off shoes and wrap fleece blanket around the feet. Does anyone have a better solution?

    the damper on that that side might be stuck. is there heating coming out of the floor vent? the other thing to check is the underbody panels to see if that one fell off.

    Just guessing here but have you lifted the passenger side carpet to see if there is an insulation bat missing right there ??
    Most cars have something under the carpet for that purpose.
    I'm not close to my P right not to look at it.
