one guess is that the zebra strip is just fine but the pc contacts are corroding. Shine the pads up with some #0000 steel wool, protect them from corrosion with a dab of silicone grease, and reassemble. Worth a shot.
Why? If it doesnt work I will simply clean off the vaseline.

Good luck, if there is anything of the Zebra strip left to clean.
