I just removed the original staples and rubber strips from the one truck and all Ford was doing was cutting up inner tubes for that piece. I can post pics if you want, but on the backside is markings and moldings in the rubber that make it evident that is all it was. The inside smooth surface of the inner tube was faced upward so it looked nice.

I found inner tube material was also used as the lower seal of the transfer case lever.

Not sure how well this will show up, but the upper one has a curved molded rib just like an inner tube and the lower one has a curved blue stripe. Cut from the side slabs of inner tube, I'm sure.
