Quarter Panel Window Trim Questions

I'm assuming thats what it is called... the rubbery trim around the rear quarter window for coupes on my car (VERY bad on passenger side, not so much on driver) is brown and spotty looking, kind of hard to explain but it looks bad. I don't know what caused this and its hard to search when you don't know what the part is called.

I tried using Mother's Back to Black and it did absolutely nothing, not even darken the brownness. I was hoping I could find somewhere that sells just that trim and maybe I could replace it. Anyone know if this is a doable thing or worth it, or where I could even get it from? I checked everywhere I could think but like I said without knowing the actual name its kinda hard.

I also found some Trim and Bumper spray but I believe its just basically a spray paint and would rather not rattle can my trim...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm thinking you're talking about the weather strip surrounding the window?

Take a cell pic pointing to it.

IIRC, GM calls it a gasket (?) and I would guess they would be the only source......not sure on that though.

Mine was starting to fade, back to black worked for me. Try putting some tire shine on a cloth and wipe it on.

Back to black would probably work, but see if a claybar works too... sometimes it is just contaminates on the outside that a claybar would take off.
