Default White exterior window seals

All of my white ext window seals are blackened with mildew stains. I've tried everything. Mildew gone, stains remain. The seals will easily pop out. Are replacements available?
thanks,
Dave

What year TM do you have. I've had luck with isopropyl rubbing alcohol. For tar on the front, I use goof off.

Default Good ol' standby...

Magic Eraser keeps ours looking almost new. Pretty light wiping it all it takes. I was amazed. Ours were pretty black when we got our pre-owned unit.

We also have good luck with magic eraser. Another great tip for bugs and tar is to use dryer fabric softener sheets. Just wet them and use like a wash rag. You will be amazed. Just rince well after so you don't leave any softener film. Try it you will use it always. Living in Alabama you need all the help you can get during Love Bug season...
