is that window rubber? i can't really make it out from the photo?

i looks like spotting to me from what i can make out... have you tried something like aerospace 303?

try a pencil rubber, works to get excess polish off plastic trim, might stretch to rubber to?

if you do this try a small indiscreet area first.. you don't want to mark your rubber further

I use bodyshop panel wipe or some tar remover.

After a good clean it get treated with some trim care.

I'd guess some APC to clean it, then dress the rubber with something along the lines of 303 Aerospace or Chemical Guy's New Look Trim Gel.
