trim

I remember a while back a few guys were talking about the black bottom trim around the rear window eroding away. Just curious as to what you found best for fixing this up.

Does it have the nasty looking crap on it or is it actually deteriorating?
I know that on my integra the molding around the rear quarter glass had this nasty buildup. I used everything I could think of and nothing would get rid of it until one day I accidently got some 409 on it. The 409 will cut right through it, I had even tried some of that back to black stuff and that did almost nothing for it. But the 409 for some reason got it off.

There's a black plastic tape that's made specifically to cover up window trim when the plastic starts peeling away. I don't remember the brand name but I think it was made by 3m. It looks like electric tape but its stronger and it adheres better. They sell it at auto parts stores - you have to measure how wide your trim is because they sell it in different widths.

So the trim that he is talking about is metal and not rubber?
I was assuming that it was rubber.

thanks guys, basically its like this black plastic rubbery material that sits on top of a metal trim. Its starting to crack off, exposing the metal. I'll check pep boys,
