The orange powder stuff might be the old bulb seal disintegrating. The center of the old bulb seal looked like it was some type of foam in middle. I replaced mine with new bulb seal that I ordered from J&R in Ohio.

I looked at the seal it doesn't look the same color. It's located at the front corner door side on the edge that moves down

I wonder if someone applied some of that expanding urathane foam insulation? If it's exposed to sunlight, it turns orange and becomes powdery.

I think Robin may be right. Bummer but I guess it is 14 yrs. old. Replacing the seal is that something I can do at home?

You can do it yourself. Below are the links for getting the weight off the cables to separate the halves and a couple of sources to obtain the seal.
