Polycell 3-in-1 remover worked perfectly today - had the mould at the bottom of all four windows gone.

Cheap solution might be: https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/pro ... pray-750ml
Got the right ingredients but maybe not strong enough(?) For 85p you can;t complain at having to do 2 applications though.
I'll pop and get some tomorrow to try out on my pick-up truck which sits under a large tree and has a row of small bushes growing along the window trims!

Used it on the car too now! Presumably a result of the damn "damp" weather since October, worked a treat.

Car was due a brake pad inspection and software update. They valeted the car including removing the green mold that had built up over the winter on the window sealing strips. Not sure what they did but it came back absolutely gleaming!
I’d like to say it was free, but they convinced me to have an oil change while they had the car so bye bye £400+
Can’t really complain as they came and collected the car then brought it back and it’s an hour each way so that’s 4 man hours just for that.

That's basically diluted bleach in a fancy bottle, with a matching price tag.

Try one of those car detailing forums. They might know of a product other than domestic bathroom mold cleaners 🤔
I’d be very wary of bathroom mould cleaners. Some of them can be very aggressive.
I wasn't being serious about using bathroom cleaner 😉
