Vegetation in my Window Tracks???

Hi Everyone, I need some advice on cleaning out my window tracks.* The tracks*have gray*fuzzy stuff on the*inside sides*that I guess is weather stripping. Unfortunately at the bottom of the tracks the gray fuzzy stuff is more green / black--I think there is algae living in there??* There is so much goop in there that the tacks don't drain properly.* I don't see a way to get that gray stuff out and replace it--if there IS a way please let me know.* Barring replacing it, how can I clean it??* When we were on the boat in a rainstorm the other day I used about a roll of paper towel trying to wipe the stuff out of the two large windows in the saloon*and*the gunk just kept coming.* Yesterday I used simple green on one of the tracks and scraped green stuff off the grey fuzz*for*awile. *Still no end in sight and the scraping was tearing out grey fuzz along with the growth.* I wanted to hit it with something containing bleach but my husband was not too keen on that idea.

Advice please!!
