The seal is a round foam product.  I think I replaced the one in my now
unused 4kq with a similar-sized piece of what's called backer rod.  It's a
foam material used to fill cracks before calking.   Available from hardware
and building supply outlets.  Usually in the cement patching area.  I think
I used some contact cement.  It worked for several years before I stopped
driving the car.
