Steele rubber products/ac gasket

Hi folks, i am getting ready to replace the air conditioner mounting gasket on our 2018 Hummingbird. Has anyone used the”Steele rubber products “ gasket? I have a Coleman Mach. I have bought weather strips and seals for my trucks from them and the quality has always been very good. They show a “ universal “ gasket and I am concerned about fit. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time folks!

I have been lucky and have never had to change an AC gasket.

I like Steele's products. Not sure if their AC gasket is worth the extra $50. I will be following. As for it fitting, I would be more confident than some off brand. But there really is nothing special about these gaskets.

I am not sure if they all have this or if some are "special" but the last time I changed one the gasket\seal had visible tabs on them to determine and measure that they are compressed to the correct amount of compression when tightening back up the A/C bolts. Perhaps all of the A/C gasket are that way? ~CA

I've only put on two over the years, once on one of my trailers and another on someone elses. Both had compression tabs. Changing out the gasket is easier with two people, one to position the AC on the roof, and one to help align from in the trailer. All I have used is the foam gasket with the adhesive.
