Anyone know what this insulation is?

See image. It's the image in RED... windshield cowl piece that covers the vent area where your cabin filter is. I had to remove to get my battery out. Anyway...

See image. It's the image in RED... windshield cowl piece that covers the vent area where your cabin filter is. I had to remove to get my battery out. Anyway... There is a white cotton like fiber seal under this piece towards the windshield edge that seals out water and debris. It looks like some type of round fabric or cotton like seal? Rubbery like foam but also soft like fabric and it's usually white. I need to replace this as mine is broken. I could possibly use foam. Just wondered if they sell this by itself? Not even sure how to search for it and nothing is coming up for a windshield seal for just this part.

Since i can't figure out how to delete this post....

I found 1/8 inch rubber butyl foam I'm going to use in it's place. I guess they don't sell that separately and it comes with the whole plastic piece.

I'm almost positive that on my cowl it's not white, but something grey and foamy. So I'd guess that whatever is similar material, would work.
