    Hey guys so the window trim on my drivers side front door looks terrible and was wondering where I can buy a new trim piece? I have checked my local junk yards and there are no 04+ grand prix's to take one off of. Thanks for the help!
    This is what it looks like
    And I want it to look like this to match the rest of my car

    mine were worse than that.

    so what i did was to take them off, all 4 doors, i have a regal so im not to sure how your come off.

    i took a new razor in a utility knife, and cut right along the rubber that goes up and rubs the window. then cut, scraped, pealed, sanded that plastic off.

    not gonna lie, it did not come off easy where it was not pealing, cracked and broken up.

    but i got it to bare metal, painted them with 4 coats of black rustolim i think, then 5 coats of rattle can clear coat. let that dry, and wet sanded it with 2500 grit paper, then buffed with rubbing compound. came out pretty good. and no one gets cut anymore. 3 people got cut on mine, so it had to have something done.
