This is just a plain old 3M product called "3M Strip Caulk" and it comes in
12" strips, about 60' or so to a pack, or in a 65' roll. Just about any
parts house or place that sells automotive paints and sealants should have
it for less than $20.

Be advised: this stuff is WAY sticky. I usually roll it out a bit thinner
than it comes in the pack (roll it like clay). Once you stick a water
shield on, it's STUCK. It will unstick easier if you warm it up, and you
can usually work a watershield off without doing major damage to it.

You're the man.

From 3M's website:

needed. Waterproof; will not shrink.

Works for me.
