Default Breadbox seal replacement?

Anyone know where to get one of these or what a suitable replacement would be? I'm putting a new dash skeleton in my car and the old one disintegrated upon contact when removing the dash.

I'm planning on putting the flat panel in the car like what is pictured and it looks like it's needed still. Looking for the piece I pointed out in yellow.

When I bought my '89 a few years ago it came with this panel that the previous owner had never installed. It didn't have a seal like that.

Following. The same little seal in my '87 isn't in the best of shape.

When I removed the bread loaf from my car and installed the flat panel kit I didn't reuse that little seal. I think it looks fine without it.
