Reassembling The Lcd Clock

[scbond 15 1 Cars]

Took my clock apart to clean it out and a 1 inch long rubber strip fell out and I stupidly didn't see where from. Does anybody know where it goes? Does it sit next the the glass LCD panel to stop it slipping around?

 

Also, I know the bulb is a W1.2W but anyone know where I can get one from? Searching Google and eBay just brings up those ugly super-bright LED ones.

Iirc the rubber strip goes between the LCD and the circuit board edge where the electrical contacts for the display are. The rubber is conductive and it's what actually connects the display to the PCB.

Ah ok...makes sense. Cheers!
