Default Trim repairable or replace?, Scuffed up, please help!!

The trim liner? One that runs across the rear (between top and body, just below the rear window) has a section that is scuffed up. I've tried everything you can possibly think of, mothers vinyl conditioner, meguiars vinyl/tire protectant, even zaino (Z2), stoners trim shine (really good but only lasted a week before scuff marks appeared again).

I spoke to one of the service managers and he mentioned it might have to be 'clearcoated'? I did'nt know weatherstripping had clearcoat.

I would like to replace the trim, but I believe the softtop might have to come out for this

The stoners trim protectant is really great, but i don't want to have to apply it every week. Would anyone have any possible recommendations for products or maybe a trim shop in the GTA to suggest what else could be done.

The scuff marks are pissing me off

Anything you can guys can throw my way would greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

it is replaceable. Check the diagram.



:edit: I believe it is piece #16 you need. That will run you somewhere betweek $170 and $225.00, depending on who you order it from.

You put wax on anything, even if it doesn't keep it shiny.

Yes, its #16!

Would anyone know if the softtop has to be taken out to replace it?

Thanks,

sounds like someone hit it with a buffer....

Not much you can do other than have it dyed and cleared to match original finish color.

Can be fixed by someone who can pay attention to detail...
