Tail Light Seal Material

Does anyone know where you can buy sheet stock of the seal material used for the rear lights. I took the lights out of my S5 T2 as part of my restoration project and noticed the seals are trashed. New seals are undoubtably expensive, so why not just trace and cut some new ones.

I hope someone has a good idea for this, because I wouldn't mind updating mine either.

Use a Sheet of Rubber.
maybe a Dollar store Door mat.Just trace the Seal and cut with a sharp exacto blade.
there are upholstery shops that may have Piping to go around the Edge.
I put in S5 Tails,and used the rubber from the S4 Tails(easy to get).the Piping I stuck on with glue.

I'd look for some Neoprene or Gasket sheet.
