Replacement rubber grommets for air filter box

I was putting in a drop-in K&N filter the other day and noticed that one of the rubber grommets for my Air Filter box was missing. It was most likely me since I've replaced the stock air filter already. So, does anyone here know where I can buy replacement grommets for the Air Filter Box?

My preliminary searches have turned up nothing and I've not talked to my dealership yet. I'm hoping that I don't have to replace the entire assembly for one grommet.

Thanks in advance.

I believe there was a TSB on this for the 04 models.

Update. . .

Well, thanks for all of the info. . . I removed the air cleaner housing and insulator and found that the missing grommet was not causing a problem (fortunately). If it wasn't for these posts I wouldn't have even thought it was a problem. So thank you very very much.

Anyhow, the TSB for the '04 models - are you aware if Mazda changed the design? I have an '07 and it is VERY easy to push the rubber grommets out. . .
