The bracket and screws are not correct but worked for 2012 caravan rear AC. The bracket has holes too close together and the screws were too short. In a picture I put shoes your bracket and screws on the right with my bracket and screws on the left. I was able to get my old screws out of my bracket after drilling them, there's an OE kit with all screws you'll need with expansion valve,gaskets everything for what I've spent through Amazon but the condenser itself was a perfect fit just not the bracket. Also the sticky cooling pads I would not put them on as I did because it created a gap for the box to not fully seal so took it all apart and removed them. Dodge caravan 2012. As for shipping it was packaged good looking at it but had some bent fins. It cost me $12 for not having the right bracket and screws plus more work on bracket.

If could give this thing zero stars I would. If you need to replace the rear expansion valve/evaporator on your Dodge Grand Caravan please read this thoroughly. I am one hundred percent certain that if you are replacing the evaporator, you will have to replace the expansion valve that goes with it.Let me talk about the expansion valve real quick since it relates to this. I didn’t purchase the expansion valve on Amazon, I purchased it at a local auto store. That was a big mistake and it would have been a big mistake if I would have bought it through Amazon too. The reason is because the local stores and Amazon do not sell the expansion valve with the mounting plate that is needed to secure it properly to the evaporator. They expect you to use the old plate that is on the old expansion valve that you are replacing.... Here’s a news flash... It is Impossible to remove the screws. I sprayed everything possible and spent over 6 hours trying to remove them. If you read other reviews for the expansion valve you will hear people complain about the same thing. You can purchase a cheap expansion valve and purchase the mounting plate on other sites for about $15 because Amazon does not even sell that separately, and neither will your local auto store. There are some sites that do sell the expansion valve with the mounting plate included, but if you continue reading you will understand why I don’t recommend it.So, I couldn’t use the cheap expansion valve that I purchased at the local store. Since it was 90 + degrees outside and I really needed it right then, I ended up going to my local Dodge dealership to purchase it. They charged the MSRP price, which was $150 plus tax. I had to bite the bullet because I didn’t want to wait three + days to get the one with the mounting plate included, which runs for $50 online.So here is where the evaporator comes to the picture. After I attached the $150 expansion valve to the evaporator, I tried to place it back on the plastic housing, but it was super super tight. I had to adjust the pipes to get it to fit in decently, but it was still tight. You can read other reviews from people stating the same thing. The only thing is that I do not know how those people claim it worked perfectly after readjusting them. I believe those are fake reviews to kind of tell people that they will have to readjust the pipes before they decide to return it. I think the seller knows it doesn’t fit properly. Once you manage to get it in the plastic housing, you will notice that you have to force your AC/ line to align with the expansion valve. The problem with that is you won’t get a could seal and air will leak, which will lead to frustration and hours and hours of trying to figure it out. You won’t so don’t bother. I had to drive to another Dodge dealership 45 minutes away to purchase the right evaporator since the local one didn’t have it. Again, I paid MSRP. What you should knowis that when you purchase the evaporator through the dealership, it already comes with the expansion valve attached (luckily I was able to return the other expansion valve that I purchased). As soon as I put the MOPAR evaporator in the plastic housing it fit like a glove. It aligned perfectly with the AC line. No more leaks, tight vacuum, which lead to cold AC.So lessons learned to help another soul. Please please listen to me. Before doing this job, buy the right part. Do not buy off Amazon or at local stores. Do not buy at the dealership because they will charge you the MSRP price (I was desperate and had no choice). To explain, before I started this project I had cold air in the front, but none in the back, which is why I had to replace the back components that we are talking about. But once I evacuated the the Freon from the van, there is no cold anywhere, and I wasn’t going to leave my wife and kids driving in that van for almost a week with no air. Especially since it was July. I cannot tell you where to purchase this evaporator because that will violate Amazon policy and no one will get to read this review. Do your research “geek” ;-) and you’ll find the right website. They will sell you the original MOPAR part at a lower price, like $100 cheaper. You’ll spend about $260, which will include the evaporator and expansion valve.I understand that $40 and another $15 for the expansion valve sounds more attractive. Believe me, I was there, but trust me, it’s not worth it. Spend the money right and you will save yourself a lot of stress. You are already saving money if your are doing it yourself. If you are paying someone to do it for you, chances are they will run into issues and they will make you spend more money. Don’t be cheap and buy the right part. Stay AWAY from this thing, it doesn’t work.This is a real review from a real person. I hope it helps and I hope someone stubborn doesn’t buy this thing. If you do, don’t say you weren’t warned.

Seems to be fine, however the tubes on the bottom needed to be bent to fit into the A.C. casing as well as line up withe the expansion valve.

The two pipes out the bottom of the evaporator had to be slightly bent to match properly with the figment in the van. The tube bends easily by hand to get the correct figment. Otherwise the product looks well built.

Replaced the rear evap on my 2012 T&C.Like others have stated, I had to bend lines to make it fit... but bending aluminum isn't that difficult (recommend a large adjustable wrench after installing the expansion valve to "twist it" into the correct orientation.Obviously, can't speak for longevity- but it's blowing good and cold again now and has been for a week or so.There's a solid walkthrough on YouTube to help if you need it, but it's a fairly easy and straightforward replacement. Hardest part is connecting the whole "rear box" to the hard lines under the van.

The evaporator fit was tight like other reviewer mentioned, I did have to bend the tubes a little bit to make a proper connection. It has been working well for the past few months.
