Challenger convertible stainless header panel

[340challconvert]

Ready to install new windshield after cleaning and painting header and channel and need to reinstall the stainless header panel and a pillar molding.
Original header panel had a spongy like material that was flexible under the stainless header panel. Looked like it was designed to have a little give when the convertible roof was put up.

What would be recommended replacement material to be put under the stainless header panel?
The original material was spongy, yet was impregnated with a tar substance, probably to keep water out.
Was looking at a simple layer of clear silicone or window ribbon under the panel. What have other convertible owners used in this situation?
Suggestions welcome.

Detroit Muscle Technologies is one of our vendors, I'd give them a call.

Detroit Muscle was great. Gave them a call.
They sent me a link for the exact gasket kit for Challenger convertibles.

No prob. It was either them or the weatherstripping isle at the Home Depot...
