Greetings from NJ, I recently had the radio console out to remove the radio. ( I needed a new wheel chock) and I saw that the pass side defroster pipe was out and that it is held in by a couple of tabs. Pushed them in, and VOILA! clear window. That lasted about 37 feet and it popped out. I guess the only way to fix it is to remove radio console and force it back in. Any other thoughts on how it can be more permanent?
 
Move to Florida? :LOL:

Can you wrap some kind of tape around where it goes into the blower box so that has a tighter fit?
 
seriously now - hose clamp? or a little longer hose so it is forced into place
 
a dab of adhesive/ silicone/ double sided tape?
