Default 1996 rear window buttons

The buttons that attach the rear window to the lock and struts fade and turn white in the sun. can anyone tell me how to prevent this?

Ditto. I am also curious about the little foam looking donuts on the gas struts in the in side out by the window. Mine a lightened quite a bit. I used amor all and similar - works for a bit and then fades back quickly.

I use those buttons as a "Zaino-meter." I Zaino the buttons at the same time I do the rest of the car (turns it dark grey, not black). When the buttons start to turn white again, I know it's time to re-Zaino the car.
