In finishing up the re-paint process it was clear the original seal has passed the sell by date and in trying to locate a replacement I realized they're not redily available and out of stock just about everywhere so I rolled the dice on a JK seal that has a similar profile, turns out it's spot on and a bit beefier then the original.

What did you use

Could not locate an OEM seal for the TJ so I purchased an OMIX-ADA replacement (55174640AE) which appeared to be better quality than the Crown part (I previously ordered and returned).
I checked my maintenance log; the removed part was 50" and the installed part was 66".
This seal fits the full length of the firewall pinch seam and I needed to trim approximately 3" for it to fit.
