Meltin Rubber pieces

Has anyone had any trouble with the rubber "bumper" pieces under their hood? Since I live in a country with a summer temp of 107F + mine are literally melting and leaving a gooey black residue on the edges of the engine bay, around the intake and fan area.

Are there any aftermarket, more resilient parts I can replace these with? Any thoughts what I can do other than just replace them every few months? I can post a pic or two later when I figure out how.

Well I have black sapphire paint, so I am sure that helps. But I usually do my best to keep the car under shade as much as possible since being in the direct sunlight is insane.

What color is your ride?
