Green mould on window seals
Discussion
Hi All
Would welcome a bit of advice. I have a car that doesn’t get used that much and sits outside. It has green mould growing on the window seals - particularly the sealing strips where the windows raise and lower. I can scrub as hard/much as I like and it still comes back.
Any hacks for getting rid of this stuff?

Not sure if spelling is correct. My bottle is at home and I'm away so can't check

hi buddy
I had the same problem with my pan roof seals, I bought some Koche Chemie Greenstar APC, diluted 200ml to 800ml water, spray onto the seal and agitate with a detail brush or sponge and shifted it no problem.
if using on the window rubbers, may be best to drop the window all the way down to the bottom, you could apply it with a brush and dry off with a short nap towel.

Clapham, just sorted this out on two of my cars that stand for awahile without use.
On my Spider the slight green is in the hood as well.
I do it once a year & thats all it usually needs to keep it green free.
No fancy /expensive stuff at all, I use White vinegar to clean it off & to make sure it does not reappear to soon I use Milton Baby sterilising tablets.
I pop 1 tablet into around 1 litre of water, I use a clean toothbrush for the seams on the canvas hood , for the door seals I just pour it from the top of the window & it runs down onto the seals, leave there to dry ..thats it!
To stop the rear vynal window clouding due to sun etc , I rub vigorously with any type of Pledge polish using a NEW Terry Nappy.
HTH
I use Fabsil once a year to waterproof it the hood.
