Mold Making Rubber

How do I clean the mold out of the rubber seals in my shower?

The rubber seals around the glass in my corner shower have gotten mold in them. I can make the rest of the shower sparkle but the seals around the windows and the door are moldy. Water has obviously gotten in there to cause the mold. I don’t know how to get the tilex in. I’m talking about rubber gaskets that are about 1/2 Inch Wide. They appear to be sealed solid pieces of rubber, but there is enough of an opening somewhere for the water to fowl them up.
My mother in law said that I will have to buy a whole new shower. I know this isn’t an option. Who wants to buy a new shower every five years? How can I make it look better?

You can remove the glass and frame without destroying your shower. Mold is growing underneath so no mater what you do to clean the surface mold it will continue to grow back. Take the glass and frame off, remove the seals or gaskets, clean well with bleach then get or make new seals. Then add a bead of sealant around the entire thing to keep water from getting back in there again.
