black window trim

[khal.lawson]

who has black window trim ?
could you post some pics of it ?
and enlighten me on how to remove the trim from the door ?
( sedan or coupe , both would help )


fyi . . . i searched . haha .
preciate it !

[Smoken_ducky7]

i dont have black ones, but i think there are screws that hold them on. open your door and u can see the top ones you might have to remove the door panels to get to the lower ones

is it the thing i have outlined!?

[khal.lawson]

^ yes , that thing you have outlined .
i'm gonna sand it down and paint it black ,
i just need to figure out how to get this damn bottom part off

I have chrome window trim and I plan on keeping it that way but there's a screw near the side view mirror(thats the only one I've seen) and there should be like 5 more along the top

You can get replacements oredered from Honda or also jy I had the chrome trim around my windshield replaced for free because I got a new winshield

here i found something, you just may be able to understand where the screws are from



p.s. an interesting fact bout it is that its not "window trim" is a MOLDING.....thats what the dealer told me, and yes he yelled at me when he told me lmao

Looks like screws and clips.

TypeG could probably help in this, but i read somewhere that if you wanna get the chrome "finish" or plating or whatever, off of the plastic itself, you soak it in bleach for a day. Something of this size should probably go in a big, shallow bin. Just put like an inch or two of bleach in the bottom of the bin and let the pcs soak.

haha , all i was thinking while i was taking off the trim was

" i'm sure type g has done this already " . . .

i took the chrome off of my grille the same way , soaking it in bleach .
i gotta find something big enough to put the whole trim in .

the window trim isn't chrome, it's polished stainless steel, so the bleach trick wouldn't work.

try black vinyl tape, you'll save yourself tons of time and it's reverseable. later.
