Foam used to center molding clips? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a piece of chrome molding that has come off and I purchased the necessary clips, as they were worn and the reason why the molding wouldn't stay. I noticed there was a foam type molding that helped keep the clips centered into the punched out hole. What was used or what would be good enough to use in order to keep the clips centered?

The clips are self centering and the foam is used to seal the holes. I use 3M strip caulk for sealing, if the foam is missing (commonly referred to as dum dum).
