The black finish has peeled off the trim on the top of the driver door. This same trim piece is constantly coming loose on the passenger side but hasnt peeled.

I was surprised to find it's chrome underneath. It peeled off over time like plasti dip or something coming off..

It's god awful putting your arm out the window on a sunny day lol. Is there a way to re finish these things or should I just get a replacement?

Damn, $400 is crazy!! I bought this vehicle from my dad a couple years back, it was a factory ordered vehicle and IIRC it was black from the factory unless its been repaired/replaced at some point and I don't remember. I guess it's getting painted then, not worth the $400 at all to replace it, the buttons still work *knocks on wood*

I think a lot of factory vehicles have chrome trim that was coated at the factory.

My 2001 Jeep Cherokee has black trim that is now UV damaged and peeling and revealing chrome underneath.
