Default Where to find the little gel insert that goes between the wiper sensor and windshield

Rather than explain what this little rectangular piece of soft gel, that goes between the wiper rain sensor and windshield, is; I'll hope first that someone knows what I speak of and can tell me where to get this. I cannot find it on Sewell's website in any diagram that I'm finding.

I'm hoping it's not pricey, I cant see how it could be but one never knows. If it is....maybe I can locate a similar type of gel and cut it to size (??). Its only purpose is to transmit vibrations from window to the sensor. I just never thought of this when I threw out the old gel piece for a better fit to window. Bone head move.

You might check with a window installer like Safelite. They might keep something like this in stock.

If you remove the sensor from the windshield, you need to replace this. It's not something that is normally replaced unless you have the sensor off of the glass.
