Outside window trim (1 Viewer)

[gwilson]

Anybody replace the outside trim around the windows? Mine is black but around rear passenger side looks like rust. Not sure how to clean this or replace.

Got a pic of the trim you're talking about?

Can you post a picture of what you're talking about? There's "Window Belt Trim" that's at the base of the window but I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about.

You can also find cheaper ones on ebay that are not OEM and not 100% fit in color, but close. multiple videos on youtube on how to change them.

The rearmost secion, you have to take out the glass to change these out, which is a serious PITA.

The rubber seal or plastic?

I've seen some folks get like black vinyl wrap and cover the fading plastic. For the rubber, go OEM

FWIW it's possible to get all 4 belt moulding trim pieces for ~$70-75 on Amazon. YMMV as they are definitely not OEM, but I bought and installed myself and I'm happy with the results. Doesn't help if OP is in fact referring to the trim around the tailgate area side window, but for the 1st row and 2nd row side windows it solves the problem (and requires minimal disassembly - here's a youtube video I used to do the job)

It's here around the passenger rear window. I cleaned it some, now just looks more faded.

 

[GerLC100]

Ahhh! This one! Faded on my end as well, but I have no idea about a solution. Also didn't bother me too much yet

Sand and Satin Black spray paint all of it (both doors on each side) so you aren't trying to match finishes.

I’m taking a shot at this $40 shipped eBay version before going OEM. Mine are trashed, and anything will be an improvement. Can report back with impressions.

I did the belt moldings the other day (bought on Amazon). Took total about 40 minutes with cleanup. Some of the videos show loosening the front mirror. I did that on one side, but left it on the passenger side and just wiggled it in.

Was admiring my fine looking belt moldings earlier today - for $40 and waiting a week for arrival, the cheap eBay ones is are worth it. My old ones were shot, so huge improvement.

I was fine without loosening mirrors on the drivers side, but had to on the passenger. Super easy job, did it in the dark on my awful driveway.
