I presume that Eric is talking about the rubber bumper strip. * I
would try one of those UV filtering clear sprays that are sold for
automobile trim protection and restoration from UV fading. *Don't know
what brands are commonly available in the US.

John is correct. I'm looking for a product or method that's been
successful for other owners. I didn't find any info on the Cobra site,
and haven't contacted them.

Now I'm confused. My Cobra trailer has a blue plastic trim strip and
a black rubber seal that attempts to close the gap between the top and
bottom halves. Both deteriorate in the Arizona climate. The blue
strip get hard and loses its color. The black seal always leaves
black marks on skin or clothing.

I have tried various treatments on both but nothing works. I suspect
a generous application of money is the only solution.

I'm actually more interested in finding a product that will maintain a
shine on the glass top. So far everything I have tried goes dull in a
month. I have to admit the dealer warned me this would be a problem
and he suggested painting after 5 years.
