I bought aftermarket rubber sleeves to connect the 2 heater assys. together and the one for the fresh air connection. Those things fit tight!! It was all I could do to just get one on while on the workbench. I had to order ones for a pickup, they sure seem too small. It is the deluxe heater.
Anyone have tips for connecting those things while under the dash, trying to mount the 2 heater assemblies?

Dish washing soap is also good!
