Tailgate leaking, need help finding a part

The bad news is my tailgate is leaking, but the good news is I know why. On the back of the hardtop there is a piece of foam that is screwed into and glued onto the hardtop so when I close my tailgate it hits this piece of foam to keep it from leaking. The foam is worn so it no longer touches the tailgate and needs to be replaced. The problem is I can't find it anywere. Hopefully this is a good enough description so you know what I'm talking about.

My local Ford dealer says most parts are still in stock and can fit 87-88 (I have an 88) with newer year parts.
