The flow and return pipes to the matrix are behind the engine. Two black rubber pipes about 15mm diameter.

It is possible to get at them and undo then flush through, but not easy

there are a few points to check:

Leaves and debris on the air side of the matrix mostly on top and in the intake and filter as has been noted above.
Make sure the hatch that opens for air flow to your feet closes properly to make sure the air flow to the window is sufficient. could be wires for the stereo or other equipment (like in my dash) interferes with the arms and shafts for the duct hatches.
( they are not called hatches i guess.. :) )
loose ducts from same reason as above.

I still think the amount of air coming out on top of the dash is a bit weak.

There are also chemicals that help cleaning the cooling system, for example CLR (Calcium Lime Remover). I have seen this used in heaters of cars, but not in the Jimny. Generally CLR might be also OK for the Jimny because it is not so strong and can also be used in coffee machines but I am not sure.
