the black material covering the trim started to peel away so i decided to blade everthing off. everything did not come off as clean as i wanted. should i sand with 1500 grit and then polish or what? if i do sand it then should i use 3m rubbing compound or mothers aluminum polish? it'd be easier if i knew how to take it off. i tried pulling at it in every direction but it didn't budge.

here are some pics:










looks good from a distance. i would rather replace it than cut the others. plus, i figured that the weatherstripping was there for a reason.

bump does anyone know how to take it off? does it require taking other things off?

 

i would tape off the surrounding area and then wetsand it with 600 grit followed by 1500 grit. then i would polish it with metal polish. then wax to protect.

 

Is your Accord a LX or DX?
I've been trying to find the window trimming in black for years.

 

What window trim are you talking about? Belt strips (belt weatherstrips, belt moldings)?

it's a dx.

so no one knows how to take it off? i don't think i want to do the other three window trims. it's a dilemna because a new one would cost around $60 from tasauto.com i think.
