There are two ways to fix this problem.

The first is to renew all the foam seals in the air
distribution housing. This involves pulling the
fascia, splitting the distribution box, replacing all
the foam rubber seals and re-installing everything. If
you plan on having the van a while, eventually you
will want to do this.

The second way is easier. Remove the lower heater vent
panel (in front of the shifter) and cut some foam
rubber blocks to fit inside the rectangular areas in
the cover.

I typically leave the blocks in place until it's cool
enough to use the heater, then I pull them out and
throw them in the glove compartment. As soon as the
weather is warm enough and I need to use the A/C, I
re-install the blocks.

Good luck,

Tim
