Dave,

I did what Rick said.  I bought some 1/2" closed cell foam weather strip 
with the sticky back at the hardware store.  I taped the foam to the 
heater so I knew I had the right area covered.  However, it may be better 
to tape it to the plenumn.  You could run several pieces side by side to 
ensure it's wide enough.  

I also bought some 1/2" open cell weather striping to replace the foam seals
in the heater box it's self.

John
