Try some tire bleach. And if all else fails, you can use some lacquer thinner. But be very careful with it. Then use some water soluble silicone for some shine and protection.

WD40 works pretty good on door end seals and weatherstripping and won't hurt it.

You can always try Meguiars #39 HD Vinyl cleaner followed up by #40 Rubber and Vinyl cleaner / conditoner. I've had amazing results using it on rubber and vinyl products getting them back to original condition.

Have heard the "gel" hand cleaner (without grit) works.

I media blasted my rubber windshield washer foot pump and it look like new rubber. It was completely stained and crusty from dirt but now it looks like a new part.

I'll second the Evaporust. I used the PPG product, metal prep, on a rag and wiped some door end seals I had. After some gentle scrubbing the rubber looked like new. A quick rinse and some protectant and parts look like new.
