Make sure they aren't trying to use the roof vents and rear passenger controls, as that's just for AC. As above, rear heat is via vents under front seats.

Also check that the upholstery isn't hanging down in the back of the front seats, blocking the heater vents.

Or that the floormats aren't bunched up in front of them.

If you're talking about the third row, I agree, it's freezing back there. I have to pack a spare blanket for whoever gets stuck sitting there.

Thank you for all the suggestions, I'll check the vents under the seats to see if there clear and I can fell heat coming from there. And carry a extra blanket for the grandkids in the way back.
