Myron,

I found the underlayment foam (recommended by Rich) at Home Depot.
Unfortunately, it only came in 100 ft2 rolls for $70. I wasn't able
to find any thin enough at any of the flooring stores I tried, so I
ordered a new flap from the dealer ($75). After 3 weeks, dealer
told me it was no longer available (they don't even list the gasket
material). So...what I found instead was an extra thin mousepad.
Stripped the patterned 'liner' off, cut it, and it works great.
Seals tight w/no leakage at all. One mouse pad is enough for 2
repairs.

Good Luck

BTW - Dealer called two weeks later to say the flap finally came
in!!! Ahrggg.
