It’s especially on the small side-back window’s black surrounding

I would try this stuff. Makes all the black rubber on my car look great!

NO on the Mother's Back-To-Crap. Once you use this stuff you have no choice but to constantly re-apply because it will cause your black trim to fade to gray.

I highly recommend you clean the black trim with light soap and water. Dry off the area and then apply an automotive silicon agent on the rubber around the windows with a small sponge. Wipe access off with a fresh towel.

I have never had this problem with my car, and sometimes I go over a year without reapplying it. Just FYI.

You're one of the fortunate, that stuff ruined my rubber door trim on my Volkswagen Corrado.

I assume it depends on the quality of the rubber, and if it is natural rubber or synthetic rubber. Best thing to do is to try it on some highly inconspicuous place before slathering it all over your car.

I've used Mother's B2B on my car and was somewhat satisfied with it. It gave decent results, but doesn't really last very long. What I did, was cleaned off all the trim really well, then applied 303 aerospace protectant, which as UV protection.

If your trim is really bad, then you may need to dye it black. Try
Forever Black. Its a good product that gives good results.
