What to Do When the Window Black Rubber Seal Fades?

After calling the relevant customer service hotline, inform them of the situation and seek assistance. Faded car seals require maintenance, and severely faded ones need to be replaced with new seals. Car owners can clean the seal every one or two quarters. Use a clean, damp sponge to wipe the sliding tracks to maintain the cleanliness of the seal.

My car had the same issue before, and the faded, whitened window rubber trim did look awful. I first tried gently wiping it with an eraser to remove surface oxides, which worked quite well. Later, I realized that applying rubber protectant regularly is crucial. I apply it monthly, and now after two years, the trim remains deep black and shiny. If the discoloration is severe, you might consider purchasing a specialized rubber dye for cars—it’s very easy to apply yourself. Remember to avoid harsh cleaners, as they can accelerate aging. Also, try to park away from areas with heavy tree sap, as prevention is far more effective than repair. Rubber components naturally have a limited lifespan, but proper maintenance can extend their use by three to four years.
