If they're old seals...its probably got ingrained into the seals...I would go for new ones, but depends on budget

OH used to be a paint sprayer & said that if its rattle can or celuose (sp?) paint then you might be able to get it off with standard thinners but if its 2pack then the only thing you can do is try to carefully scrape it off with a stanley blade.

I just had the same problem, i used a stanley knife and scraped it off. It worked a treat.

Side of a stanley blade or simmilar, then get to the goody shop and get a small tin of tyre black paint it on and see how you go

Yep, stanley blade run backwards. Bit labour-intensive in your case but probably the only way to do it. Do a window a weekend if it drives you nuts. We use the same technique on rollered vans where the masking wasn't quite flush enough.
