Ive got green algae/moss growing on the lower window rubbers.
I had a go with neat washing up liquid and a toothbrush today - seems to to have removed most of it- but dont know for how long.

Anyone found a better method of removal? Jules

You have to find a safe way to kill the spores or it will come back per my search. Bleach will do it but your paint won't like it!!!

Google produced quite a few videos and threads on the topic, many from the UK.......this one looked interesting to me:

Someone used glycerine to finish the rubber and protect it.............sounds promising but I have never had this issue in Ontario, Canada.

Try mild bleach - Milton is pretty mild. To rejuvenate the rubber use Gummipflege https://www.detailedimage.com/Ask-a-Pro/pr...are-stick/ Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

@Past master Yes, Milton is a good idea - I'd forgotten I used that in the past for the black mould you get in SCUBA masks Jules

It is reputed to do so - check the reviews, which all seem to be positive. I think it is basically a silicone preparation. Its other main advantage seems to be to stop doors freezing shut in bad weather. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

"Back in the day" as they say, it was a point of pride to have moss growing in the sliding window tracks of one's Series. Mine was also infested with spiders, which used to lower themselves from the headlining from time to time to the astonishment of my passengers. I don't think I ever had any plants growing on it though. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
