    Ok clearly it's kind of a Toyota Covid, but I assume this is mold...from rain showers and baking in the Georgia sun. But I am struggling to understand how to clean this.

    Pic #1 is under those 3M rear clear rock guards.

    Pic #2 is like this on most of my window rubber moldings....I have used Clorox and scrubbed - but aside from scraping away the actual rubber, these are now just a mess. Tried re-siliconing these and does not work very well.

    Anyone have any suggestions or success with this crap?

    For Issue #2, try Mean Green. Not simple green, Mean Green. That stuff cleans way too effectively to be legal in some countries. :rofl:
