It's going to rain in a few days - and I need a quick fix that'll get me going for
now.  In the end, I put on some black duct tape on the top and bottom, and it seems
to seals it up like a gem... for now anyways.

I'll fix up the seal in the future, but this should do for this week's rain.

Thanks,
Shawn.
