This trim piece is bent in on my car, apparently from a crowbar. The door is bent at the top and the weather stripping is tore up, so I'm getting a new door; but I can't figure out where to get this chrome trim piece. I don't feel like paying an arm and a leg. Can I remove this piece and use body filler to flatten it?

 

you could, but just go to the junk yard and get a new one, or the dealer, it shouldent be more then about $50 IIRC

 

OK... Go to junkyard and pick up both side for like 25 bucks. The dealer cost for the TRIM is over 50 dollars.. I think it's up in the 100 plus range because I called and ask my local dealer and almost passed out when he told me the price.

When you take your trim out be very careful. Use a flat head screwdriver and see if you can save the clips. If you clips break you will have to buy new ones. They cost about 3 dollars each at the honda dealership. I payed about 30 dollars because they design them to break if you remove them. They are like anchors that you put in drywall/sheetrock.

Looks like someone was locked out of the car and tryed to pry the glass to get in/someone trying to break in. I replaced mien because I locked myself out my car and had to get back in. Most likely screwdriver marks.

 

My clips didnt break when I took my trim off. The plastic does get brittle with age, you just need to be careful and go slow.
