It's not that it's NOT replaceable, we just don't know how!

But maybe if you ask this guy, he might be able to help you.....

I'm curious for everyone that came in here and said anything about vinyl..... Why? The OP, me, clearly stated REMOVING the bling bling that is the chrome ugly exterior trim.
On the other hand, I like the way your car looks

I don't mind breaking it to get it off then replacing with a new, already painted, window trim.
We were discussing this over on the "other board" but that forum fails to get as much traffic as this site does.

Does anyone have a helms manual that shows step by step how to replace the chrome?
Thanks in advance.
