I chose a different approach that is cheap, quick, easy, and doesn't change the appearance of the trim. I used some Gold Bond powder (about $5) and a microfiber towel. I sprinkled some powder on the towel and rubbed it into the trim. Then I turned the towel to a clean spot and used it to wipe off any excess. I also dampened a corner a corner of the towel and used it to fully remove any powder from the interior parts next to the rubber trim. Presto. The trim is no longer sticky and it's not shiny, either. It took longer to go the the grocery store to get the powder than it took to de-sticky the trim.
