HVAC box replacement foam

I’m pretty sure they’ll fit, I just sent one off to a guy to test fit on a 2005 TJ, so I should know in a week or so. Unless you happen to be the guy I sent it to, then you’ll know sooner than me!

A little bit of bad news. I tore into my dash and HVAC box today to replace a leaking heater core. The seal kit doesn't work for for an 05 TJ. The configuration is completely different. I'm not looking for a refund or anything, just passing on the info.

That’s unfortunate, do you have a picture of it? I’d be happy to issue a refund to you, I appreciate the feedback
 
No refund necessary. I was still able to use the seal that goes around the heater lines and AC lines, but I had to butcher it a bit. The foam is super good quality. The drain seal fit well. I used some of the other included foam for the panel vent seal.

The biggest difference with the heater/AC lines seal is that the OEM heater core lines are offset as opposed to one on top of the other. Here's some photos. I'll include photos of the other foam seals as well.

This is the main air Inlet from the cowl.
