Reusable. Molding can be removed and the rubber used without. Spray silicon on the rubber liberally where it met the sun for so long. It will soak it up in a hurry and will be refreshed. You can remove all the molds from the other windows too if you want and clean the groove out then rub silicon into the rubber without touching the paint and the glass.
