Weather Stripping Turning Green

[chalkrwd]

I noticed today that all of the lower rubber seals on my doors are turning green. Really weird because it is the same exact seal on every door so not sure what it could be from. Kind of hard to see in the pics but definitely noticeable in person.
Bringing it in next week for the update so will mention it then but was curious if anyone else had this issue.

I’ve used this rubber care product on all my Porsche’s for years. It’s fast and easy to apply, no fuss no muss. I do this about once a year. It keeps the trim looking new for years.

Thank you! I will get some, I think I have actually used this in my BMW.

+1.
Also great for squeaks in rubber molding due to drying out etc (worked wonders on my M4 convertibles retractable roof moldings).

You’re in Florida, with warmth and humidity, and you have something green appearing in a location of the Taycan where moisture is trapped. My first guess is it’s mold, fungus, or another living organism. It would not be my first thought to treat this with a rubber/plastic detailing product.

Could be soap/chemical residue as well????

Could be, just weird that it stops on the exact same spot on every door so that seal may be a different material.

Thanks for everyone's input.

Update brought it in for service and they said it was some type of coating from the factory so all resolved now.

Having the same problem with mine, did they fix the issue?

wow, interesting. I’m having the same issue (Southern California / always hand wash and dry).

Any other details so I can share with my service advisor?

thnaks!

The green came back. It’s much worse now. Just living with it

I have got this too.

It matches the green at the of the lightbar, at the bottom of the rear window, and on the lower window rubbers.

I just took my 22 RWD in for 5 problems including this one. They told me all 5 were normal despite not being able to replicate them on there other Taycans. I’m not going to live with this one…

I noticed it after humid summer. i wiped down (very very carefully) with dilute bleach, and rinsed off, and it so far it has not returned. i also now wipe dry these gaskets after a car wash.
