    So my 2014 truck is only few months and I already see some wearing problems, the rubber corner trim on all the window are already fading. I was thinking to order the 303 aerospace product after researching about it.

    Are you having the same issue as well? What are you doing about it?

    I think if you rub those pieces down, you'll see that they clean right up.

    I've seen this brought up on here before and others have said they think the corner pieces are a different material and that's why they discolor as they age when compared too the straight pieces.

    Op do you use automatic car washes or do it in the driveway?

    I only ask as, I recently traded a '14 PreRunner for a '14 TRD-OR. Well within the first month on the '14 PreRunner, I had taken it through an automatic was twice, the kind that sprays that blue, pink and purple crap all over the truck.

    I noticed each time, it would fade or tarnish all the black trim on the truck. Mostly the window weather strip material and the side mirrors. I have only hand washed my OR which I prusume has the same materials, and it still looks new.

    There are some seriously aggressive chemicals in those automatic car washes, that I feel does more harm than good.
