Air vents not working properly

Okay so my vents seem to no be working properly. The defrost and leg settings work great, but the top vents for your upper body seem to not work right. If I have it set on the upper body position air does not come out like it normally would at full blast. I also notices that when it is on that position that a decent amount of air is excaping through the floor vents and defrost. Randomly if I go back and forth with the knobb I can get it to turn the upper body vents on all the way. And other times I will just be driving and it will fix itself with time. Any ideas of where I can start to try and solve this?
 
If you do it yourself extremely time consuming, if you pay extremely expensive. You will have to pull the dash. Which usually means other things like the radio, and a lot of trim panels. Not an easy job, but I would do it yourself unless you have a grand to burn on time.
