Replacement Rubber Strip Recommendation for Thule Aeroblade Crossbars

Question

Question:

Hi There! Do you guys know where I can get a replacement rubber strip for my Thule 47inch aeroblade? I noticed that it was missing the other day. Not sure if it came off in the car wash or maybe someone removed it and borrowed it without my permission. : Please help. I just need that rubber strip that goes across, not a whole new bar. Thank you so much!
