I just managed to get my hands on nearly complete air deflector for my '95 Thunderbird, that floppy rubbery thing that is pinned to the radiator support and is stapled to the air dam that diverts air up into the radiator (part # F4SZ-63001A06-A), item #10 -

Since these things seem to disintegrate over time (I've gone to Pick Your Part repeatedly searching junked '94/'95 Thunderbirds for it but it's always missing till now), I was thinking of getting some place to make copies of it (it lies flat when new) or, at worst, buying some of the material and cutting out replacements for myself.
So, the question is, does anybody know what this thing is made out of and could someone maybe point me to some sort of industrial materials place that could sell me the rubbery stuff or, better yet, make a few of them for me?
This stuff is very rough, almost seems to be rubber-coated cardboard. I wouldn't mind a stronger, longer-lasting replacement material so long as it was more or less the same thickness and pliable (so it can bend up the radiator support and also around the sway bar).
