As for the headlights i recently found out a great and inexpensive way to make them look like brand new. Sam's club only charges $29 to fix both headlights for you. They wet-sand it, polish and apply clear coat to protect them in the future. Best part, you get a 5 year warranty under which you can always bring the car back and have them re-do if they scratch or become cloudy again. That is an amazing deal and made a huge difference on my car. The look like new!

As for the windshield trim. I had exactly the same issue, mine started fading (and so did the door handles). It pops off relatively easy - there are 5 clips holding it in place and if you are careful with a plastic removal tool or a screw driver covered in a cloth you should be able to pry it off one piece at a time. There are threads on here that explain that as well.
You can do a search for "service manual" and download the official Crossfire Service manual. It explains every technical aspect about our cars and how to remove each and every part there is. It's also great for troubleshooting issues.
Good luck! The things you mentioned (air pump error, faded windshield trim and headlights) are the only things that have ever been wrong with my car
AWESOME tip of sam's club. i'm not a member though that's a great price since the headlight kit is already $20.

just posted a link of the trim uninstalled and i did install the service manual but couldnt find the process to take it out.

haha funny how we have similar issues. and i'm glad to hear that about your car since it seems these are common but miniscule problems. i can only see good things to come from this car ::knock on wood::
