Load bar rubber cushion

Hi gang, looking for info on where to purchase some formed protective rubber to slide into the extrusion on the lone peak load bars. 
I'm trying to eliminate having to put foam pads on the bars while hauling surfboards. 

Just a mildly soft rubber strip should be enough protection. 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I’ve never seen anything that fits in the t-slots. Maybe black pipe insulation with some zip ties? I have a pair of these for my paddle board. Other brands are cheaper but there’s enough Velcro on these to fit. https://www.rei.com/product/127113/yakima-30-aero-crossbar-pads-pair?sku=1271130001&store=&CAWELAID=120217890004493260&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=102307103677&CATCI=pla-703340436687&cm_mmc=PLA_Google%7C21700000001700551_1271130001%7C703340436687%7Cbrand_flag%7C10020756460&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=10020756460&gbraid=0AAAAAD_DTlzDbta06tnY0WpgSzpTSErD5&gclid=Cj0KCQjwv4XUBhDBARIsAE6bQUSfzrXqkdnrtHbBHMiurnUGTewHvGmIWbeluYv8Uua-cjsmGld5RLEaAkmrEALw_wcB

Might be worth reaching out to LP with the idea, they could probably make them pretty easily. Lots of folks do surf and paddle boards so definitely a market for it!
