Airbox to firewall gasket material?
Does anyone know where to obtain the seal that is basically taped to the air boxes that seal the heater core and A/C boxes to the firewall? I've been googling for quite some time and everything I have found is very porous foam tape whereas the factory seal is more like a rubberized dense foam.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I couldn't find anything a few years ago when I had to replace the evaporator core housing. I ended up using some 3M strip caulk. Works pretty good.

Sadly, I never thought of googling for hvac foam rubber gasketing tape. I think that may actually be the way that I try first.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
