How do you get rid of the green alge mould around the outside of the sunroof. It's on the outside on the black rubber stuff that seals the glass. It's not taken over yet but is starting to look a bit yuk

Powerwasher?   Soap and a sponge?  :-/

Personally, I have to use a powerwasher at work to clean some very grubby cars sometimes and a blast with a powerwasher works wonders.  Just need to take care where the fallout ends up......

one of wd40's best uses

mould killer, patio cleaner works, dab on with a cloth give it an hour or so, wash off, should go gray when its dead. and dont come back for 2years even if under a tree.

I actually find an old toothbrush is great for cleaning around the sunroof. It is also very useful around the lights and any small gap.

especially if you also use it to clean the loo

What ever you use I would try and rub it in 1st and let it soak in to try and loosen it and the jetwash it all off.

Soap and water with a sponge should get the worst off, and use a credit card or small brush for scraping off any stubborn algea - never use a jetwash, or you'll cause the sunroof seals to fail and leak into the car -  jetwashes cause all sorts of problems, good old-fashioned elbow grease is always the best way

Sunroof seal aren't fully water tight, they have a felt-like finish. The drains at each corner are there to get rid of what water does go past the seal.

Nought to use by giving it a squirt of wd40 - thats what I use to remove the grren stuff from my windows.  OK, you have to wash the car a couple of days later

Milton can have a slight "bleaching" effect, so could discolour the "felt" portion.

I just use soapy water and a toothbrush, as it appears others do .. 

[Jimbob]

Ill be advised then, as I havent tried it yet
