I've had a slight mold/ mildew issue in my rear window seals for a bit.
I decided I want to tackle it this week. Anybody have advise on how to rectfy
And remedy this? It's a 98 if that matters...

Astute... That much I am aware. Interestingly It hasn't gotten worse thinking the
Leak isn't the seals themselves but elswhere in the hatch area. More looking for a way to kill/ iradicate the mold.

I use household ammonia to kill mold. Back in the day when fire hose had a woven cotton jacket we used ammonia to kill mold on it. I use it all the time on camping equipment. Have lots of fresh air and do not mix with bleach!!
Do not get it on after market window tint it can reactivate the adhesive on it.

I'll try ammonia first. Bleach seems like a pita with all the cloth and carpet.
