Cowl vent panel replacement?

I've got an '03 Escape and the rubber on the cowl panel that presses up against the windshield is rotten. I had the windshield replaced this morning and that rubber just fell apart.
Are they all like this or should I be safe getting one from a junk yard and replacing it?

Did I fart?
I can't believe nobody has an answer or has dealt with this before.

If the rubber weathered away on yours, it probably has on the ones in junkyards by you. If I were you, I would look it up online on one of the discount Ford dealer's websites and get a new seal odered up.

I called the dealership earlier this week. I was told $85 x2 for a total of $170.
I'm thinking $3 tube of black silicon.
