Black Rubber Door Moulding?
I was looking at a few C63's and noticed that some of the black rubber door mouldings have a discoloration due to water/sun action.
How do you keep the black rubber door moulding around the side windows looking nice and not being destroyed by the Sun rays or water spot discoloration? Thank you.

I use some type of rubber preservation stuff - I think its by mcguires - Ill need to check into it and see what its called. I apply it every other time the car gets washed - its great for all the black rubber components and the black plastic components too - ill get back to you on the specifics

I ave the same discoloration going on on all my window mouldings, it looks like ****, going to bring it to the dealer, i have a feeling they may have to change them all.

The dealer had to replace the door seal in the left rear door yesterday due to wind noise that developed. Unfortunately they scratched the paint on the door during the process and the dealer is repairing the damage. I hope this issue with the molding and weather seals is just an isolated problem.

I havent gone yet for this, but it has to be replaced under warranty, i am just stalling for the right time to do this, i just hope the guys at the dealership dont hack up the paint when removing and installing.

I'm the OP and I might add that I live in the desert and the Sun (345 days a year (no clouds)) damage is quite concerning considering this expanse of rubber door moulding.
