cracking rubber side window gaskets, new

[houndman]

noticed there are small cracks in the rubber around the top of the
rubber at the top of the side windows, on an 07' Imp, like it is old.
It is soft and pliable, and looks like different pieces joined
together with the top piece with the corner curve, different from the
straight sides. Anyone else notice this on the stripping?

Noticed it on my 98 legacy when it was 3 months old. Still have the car and
the tiny cracks - supple as ever.

It looks and seems strange. Wonder what the difference is in the
rubber, or how it is cast?
