Hello all. Not sure what the actual name of this part is, so I am including a photo of it. It is the silver trim/panel above the front windshield. As you can see from my photo, mine is starting to deteriorate in certain places. Looking for one in better shape and simple instructions on how to replace.

Thank you

 

Most of the time it is just the clear coat peeling. off the windshield surround.

Way cheaper to remove all 3 pieces and take them to your local body shop and have them painted. Have them painted silver or match your car color.

 

Unless you get lucky it would be cheaper to paint the one you have and make sure it is reattached properly or you will lose it.

 

Thanks to both of you for the quick responses, it is appreciated. How do you take them off? I have never taken one off before.

 

I’m about to remove my front top window trim / garnish and replace. Have you refinished and reinstalled yours? I’m curious to know how difficult it is to remove and then replace. Is the piece flexible or does it damage easily? Thanks

 

Use a tool like a hard plastic puddy knife. Slide it under the trim molding from the windshield side. Gently pry up. Scary but it will come off fine. James

 

Thanks - will give it a try!

 

Be careful that top trip piece is nearly as rare as unicorn poop and costs $300 plus used.
Make sure it is securely mounted back on the car or you will be spending $300 plus.
