Tricky-Ricky Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Noticed that my windscreen and rear window trim/rubbers where looking a bit crusty, well sort of crystallised deposits that looked rather manky. so i set about trying to rectify it, tried all the proprietary stuff with very little change, so decided to get brutal with it, so i tried a piece of fine scotch pad on the deposits and it seemed to take it of to a degree, after that i thought i would try some G3 rubbing compound with seemed to work even better, and removed the top surface revealing smooth black rubber. Now i can only surmise that its either deposits of various waxes/cleaners, or it actually surface corrosion of the rubber, anyway the end result is back to normal/new looking window rubbers, so i thought it would be useful for others suffering from this:) Be prepared for sore fingers though;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Plethora Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I have heard of people spray painting them with good results, need to use the plasticote stuff you can get from B&Q although I would not expect its a long term fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
