If it's not leaking I'd leave well alone. You can treat the surface to clean up the apparent cracks and hardness, though I can't remember what with. I'm sure Pete will have a suggestion.

Could it be  "gummi-pflege"

al i and production ever used on rubber screen seals was black bostic  aka gutter sealant cheap easy to clean with white spirit  

but i dont know of anything to rejuvenate cracked old rubbers 

the rear screen is same as the front   needs a string around the flip to pull it over the flanges 

you can add sealer before you fit or pipe it in after ...down to preference 

and use a an old glove or sock filled with dried sand or shot to give the glass a good whack to bed it in place 

never uses a rubber mallet  or anything similar    a soft whacker is the normal
