Found the solution at advance auto parts. It's a roll of thin sticky tar type stuff. Made by factory air I believe and worked amazing. I will snap some pictures and get you the part number. It was super easy to use and it sealed up perfectly.

I found nearly the exact stuff. It is electrical duct seal made by Ideal industries. It's cheap and works just like the oem stuff. About $5 for enough for several projects. Just google " ideal industries duct seal"
