Hi Dave ,
When you get you parts put both sides in waxoyl before changing them. It is only a small rubber part with a even smaller aluminum stripe in. This stripe is exposed on both sides to the salty winter environment what cause a kind of oxidation. I think it's aluminum corrosion, and it turns the stripe into something like white sand.
I did it this year to my D3 stopping the water getting in and hopfully prevent this happening again.
Cheers
Gerd
