Another hack-around suggestion - Butyl Sealant tape - that black plastic
gooey tarlike stuff. Audi uses that to seal tailights and a lot of other
things on also (ex: I think the relay box under the hood is sealed down with
it?), if you really can't find the right thing I guarantee that would work
and is freely available at any NAPA etc.

Also I wonder if the wrong measurement for the part number is like the
recent hose-length thing - its cut to a length at the distribution
warehouse...
