If it is not there {seems many Yaris's shipped with out one in the housing} did you suck some foreign material into the blower housing and it has restricted air flow?

The blower itself works fine, my problem with the heater has more to do with the increased length of time it takes for the air from the vent to warm my car. Last February in Northern Minnesota, my Yaris would only take a couple of minutes to get warm, but in Nashville, where I now live, it seems to take ages to get hot.

The cabin air filter was changed recently, so I don't think that should a problem.
