Hey gang,

Wondering if anyone has a source for the ribbed hose in the d pillar
that connects the upper plastic part to the part behind the taillight. 
Not even sure what to call it.  It looks like a 3" dia.
metal/plastic/paper hose, but compressed into an oval section.  Open to
suggestions.

Mice managed to shred mine and made a nice nest in the air filter
housing.  Got that cleaned up and put 1/4" mesh over the opening in the
d pillar behind the taillight, but would like to replace this hose.

Thanks.
