At the risk of over-analyzing this issue, I will just add that you  
could always add a small cord of
the butyl tape from NAPA to the original seal.  I doubt you will find  
the replacement in stock at a
dealer, so expect to wait on a new seal.   My only problem with the  
original seal is it tends to get
dirty during box removal and repair so it doesn't seal as well, but  
some additional butyl should
fix that issue.
