But some thin rubber gasket/weather strip would work and wouldn't be a PITA to get out in the future....

I offered tools and a helping hand to someone several years ago who did it in my driveway. It was a mess. Hence, I wouldn't recommend putting something with a strong adhesive back in there. We used Naptha (basically lighter fluid) to clean everything up, which worked pretty well. He didn't replace the seal with anything.
