White Seal

No, not the kind with flippers.

While washing, cleaning, waxing and sealing my 2002 triple-black S this past weekend, I noticed the white seal around the windshield. It looks pretty grungy and weathered on this otherwise Batmobile-black vehicle. While the seal is still perfectly functional, the dirty white spoils the look a bit for me. Aside from replacing it (which would have to cost quite a bit), can it be cleaned, painted black, or otherwise improved?

Unhappy No reply?

Did I not explain myself clearly or ....? Can't believe no one has a suggestion or comment.

I don't know about any white seal. The trim around my windshield is painted silver. Just hit it with some polish and follow up with wax. Should come out clean.

I have a triple black boxster as well and there is absolutely no white trim, rubber or otherwise on my car. Sounds very odd. A previous post requested a photo... can you provide one?

Is it the windshield gasket?

Finally got some pictures of it. Maybe the windshield was replaced by the previous owner?
