Roof Seam Detailing Question

Hey Guys,

This is about the only spot on the car I haven't gone after to restore to new like appearance. These seams between the glass top and the painted panels. I took the photo in the least flattering light to exaggerate how bad it looks. I doubt actually many people notice it. But I am admittedly obsessed about all details on my cars. These seems are not really rubber or metal. They seem to be a form of plastic? I thought about trying one of the Chemical Guys products on it like "meticulous matt black" but then I thought I would throw it out for advice to all you equally obsessed guys! I appreciate all advice.

Here is the pic:


Notice how the seams are not as black as they should be. Wax and the elements have whitened them up a bit.
