Default Peeling Trim!

Peeling Trim
What the heck? This is happening to my 430 and 460. Is it fixable? I made it worse by trying to just peel it all off, figuring I would go with chrome, but I got worried it wouldn't come off evenly and now it's just hooptie city. Is there a fix? Can I just pull out the heat gun and peel it all off? I prefer the black look. The other side is still perfect. I hate the Florida sun with a passion. It destroys everything.

They still sell them for about $130. Super easy to replace. 75762-50020 I believe thats the front one. And 75755-50020 should be the rear.

I have the same issues. I wonder if the panel can be taken out and then powder coated?? What are the methods to remove?

You have to remove the window run channel and there are about three Philips head screws. Once you remove them the trim comes off. Sorry for the late response.

That is a common problem on the LS430. Like some one previously mentioned they are still available through Lexus.
