Silicone gasket for jack mounting point

Anyone ever replaced a jack mounting pad before?

I purchased a new one today, and noticed theres a gasket that goes between the jacking pad and frame. Mine is messed up and not reusable. The parts guy said there's no part number for the gasket, so it must be some silicone liquid rather than a gasket.

Anyone can point me in the right direction of how to get this replaced, I would greatly appreciate.

What's left of my gasket and old jack pad pictured/attached.

Noting that there - genuinely - doesn't appear to be a gasket listed with the jack pad (although there does appear to be some kind of gasket on the new pad on RealOEM), the item in the picture looks like someone ran a bead of sealant around the area.

Looks like RTV.

Found a silicone gasket maker at local auto parts store, feel better with that on vs. just sticking the thing in the frame solo.

In case anyone stumbles on this thread looking for the same answers, I've attached a couple photos of the silicone tube, applied to the jack pad, and the new jack pad installed!

Thanks again for the help guys!
