Default Window Trim Fix?

Hey guys, is there a fix for faded window trim? I have a Black EJ8 and it's not the trim under the driver window, but rather the rubber trim around the rear windows on the coupe. It's faded to a gray color and was wondering if there was a restoration process to make it black again? Can you buy new trim? Thanks!

Clean, prep, then use SEM 39143 Trim Black to restore it.

It's molded to the glass, so would have to buy new glass if you wanted new.

Ah okay, well I'll have to try that next time.

MY FIX: I used Mother's "Back to Black" on my window trim and that did it right up! I know you're not supposed to use it on paint at all, but if you do it very light in a buffing motion, it can work wonders on your paint too.
