putting/sealing passenger side intake vent in cowl

[plothead]

i need to put the passenger side intake vent for the heater in the cowl/fire wall, which i can do, but im wondering if its sealed some way or got seam sealant around it. mine was melted and scorched so i have not frame of reference.
anyone got any ideas behind this? i was thining of dropiing it in then sealing around the sides but i got no idea how to do it.
thanks

The passenger side does not seal at all on top. It seals on the side of kick panel. Use some silicone and make sure you get all of the screw holes. If you look at this picture, the vent will cover the large hole in kick panel. There is a small round piece that fits in the hole first and the vent covers it. You can see all of the small screw holes in the picture as well.

get a roll of that 1" wide by 3/8 black neoprene weather stripping tape. apply to outside of kick panel around the hole and then insert the box.
