Default Replace windscreen trim

Is the black trim directly next to the external windscreen replaceable?

Mine looks worn out, i think the previous owner parked it outside often.

Those 4 parts are what's required. Not sure what year model you have but if the production run was 2011-2013 then it'll fit.

Thanks for that. Do you know if its a difficult install? Do they just pop off, or does the windscreen need to be removed.

Pretty sure they pop off. I'll check the factory manual and confirm. Just make sure you go genuine.

Excellent, thanks for that! Is that from a service manual?

Looks to be pretty straight forward, except for the remover tool.

What about trying to clean and restore first? Try
Mothers Back-to-Black Heavy Duty Trim Cleaner Kit Mothers Back-to-Black Heavy Duty Trim Cleaner Kit
to clean the trim first, then seal/coat with a restorer or dressing. I have those same spots on my daughter's Civic, on the roof water rails,
and I'm going to give it a try in the next couple of weeks.

Yeah, service manual

Don't worry, Toyota have an SST for wiping their own nose and feeding the cat.

@chinee , I haven't seen that product before, let us know how it goes.

So i was cleaning the car today and thought i would give cleaning this trim a go. I have some meguiars scratch x (not sure if you get this brand in the states) and applied it with an applicactor pad and rubbed clean with a microfibre cloth. The result was really, really good! Like almost too good, i was honestly surprised, it looks brand new. Guess i wont need to replace the trim anymore
