Black vinyl window trim

im sure every 1g knows what im talking about when i ask what do you do when your window trim starts to peel and the metal below it is now exposed and starts to rust..everysite i find has the OEM replacement is out of stock or discontinued.. would stripping it, sanding and paint look clean? please help

I had this on my 2g and I had to go to the dealer. IIRC, they're actually not TOO expensive.

I know I have seen it online for pretty cheap...I think they had some on DSMparts.com

Hey this same thing happened to me. they sell this black vinyl tape at pepboys and you put it over the whole side then you trim it. i was gonna paint mine but found this and i think its better. it wont peel off i have had washed my car tons of times and its still in place.

I'm just going to strip mine and paint it. Seems a lot easier and better IMO.

I am painting mine as well...

mine's doing that... hasn't rusted yet, and I hadn't really thought a/b what to do with it... let me know how the paint turns out

The metal underneath my upper window trim is starting to show as well, I've been meaning to take them off and repaint them, but I can't figure out how to take them off with out breaking them. I supose putting some news paper between the window to cover it and put some news paper under the top of the trim so the paint doesn't get on the roof or window should do the trick, but I don't know.
