Default Roof panel weather strip (black is beautiful, baby)

Looking for advice on a product to restore the seal/gasket my roof panel squishes into to its original black sheen. I use the Delco lubricant on it frequently to keep it pliable and crack-free, which is necessary where I live as I'm at 6,600 ft. and rubber and plastics here dry out & get destroyed quickly. So it's adequately lubed it just looks like it's all dried out and crummy. Is there something out there that will both lube and blacken?

That one is rough. Gummi Pfledge was the go-to a while back. Not sure about now.

You just might be ready for a new one of these.

Chemical Guys VRP is my go to. I have Gummi and rarely use it. VRP darkens and protects vinyl, rubber and plastic.
I used Chemical Guys VRP on all hoses, vinyl connectors, black plastic.
