Keep the hose nearby and DON'T do the welding inside the garage!
Ask me how I know!

I guess you'd have to look for a closed-cell foam.
Don't have a product for you.
It's a sound deadener; maybe omit it.
On the driver side, there is the harness running thru the foam,
careful not to damage that.

Instead of welding, I think I would use a fibeglass mat
and glass over the area. Maybe you already thought of that.
