Rubber Replenisher; Is there such product?

Whilst detailing my 190 over the weekend I noticed that some of the window rubbers look rather parched and felt quite hard.

Is there some kind of product I can buy that will help soften up the rubbers and perhaps replenish some of the natural oils that may have evaporated/leached out over time? I don't really care if it doesn't make the rubbers jet black, I'm more concerned about softening up the rubbers and making sure they last long.

I've done rudimentary Google searches and can't seem to find any products that match what I am after.

Auto Glym Vinyl & Rubber Care for seals, and Bumper Care for trim.
Absolutely wonderful on all Mercedes plastics & rubbers, I never use anything else.

If you use Bumper Care on your Door Mirror Rubbers, make sure it's the last job you do as the cloth will turn Black... ;)
