If you were to take some aluminum or copper window screen which unlike the  
plastic stuff has some rigidity ... and were to cut it to length and roll  
it into a tube of a diameter that is slightly larger than the airspace (ie  
7/8" diameter tube if the airspace is 3/4"),  I think that you could  
probably stuff it into the gap and have it stay there by itself, sort of  
like foam backer rod.


OR....slice off the appropriate rip of Roll Vent stock, (typically used for
ridge vents, and available at roofing supply houses)
