Has anyone had any luck trying to clean /restore a weathered plastic / chrome windshield trim piece.

Last I recall, the windshield surround trim is rubber/plastic and not chromed.

It is Chrome on the S models. I was never able to clean mine, but the chrome finish had worn through.

Mine doesn't look so hot either and I figure I will replace it when I need a new window shield and go with a all black rubber one.

A new one is about $70

Doesn't look like chrom to me.

The chrome / plastic I am refering to is the trim piece that is around the windshield it is about 1/4 wide.

The color code is 9A4 and the color name is titanium metallic

Up through 2000 the part number is 986 541 541 00 9A4
from 2001 on the part number is 986 541 541 02 9A4

As previously noted it's only a $70 part

How hard of a DIY project is it to replace ? Mine is weather checked.
