I replaced mine with closed cell foam (about 1/16" thick) - the kind
used for packing dishes before a moving company breaks them.

No glue needed.  Simply trim them about 1/8" larger than needed (1/8"
overlap on all four sides, so I guess it's 1/4" oversized), then snap
the plastic pieces together.  It's not quite a perfect fix, but way
better than nothing.
