I just checked mine and I have about a 1/2" to 3/4" gap between the right
side of the box and the footwell side. There is almost no clearance next to
my heater rail at all. Maybe try lossening the rail a bit and see if you can
move it to the left a little? You have the "wide" part of the box opening
pointing down, right? My thinking is that the heater and rail are too far to
the right and need some adjusting?
