Tacoma window trim

on my 2004 Tacoma, the trim at the bottom of the window is peeling up....it is the thick piece with the felt type piece that goes up against the window....it seems to be chrome with a thick black coating. The coating is thick and literally peeling up, which would make it difficult to paint without getting it completely off...and don't know how well the paint would stick to the chrome under it...
So is this piece easy to just replace.?
If so where can I get it from without going to Toyota

i did painted mine with engine paint flat black and it did stick well. did not have to remove them just clean really well the chrome part.

 

or you could remove the plastic all together and have chrome trim... not!

 

Each window side runs about $30 at the dealer, there's a thread around here somewhere where this has been discussed.
Even removing the item for painting would be better than masking off the truck IMO.

The new ones would come with new weatherstripping for the outer surface of the window ;-)

 

I replaced the front and back pieces about 2 months ago. I almost painted them, but the rubber piece that hugs the window was hard / brittle so I replaced with new ones.
Not hard to do. They bend easy, so take your time.
I'd get a price from TW Member Gary (gunny1005). Awesome guy to deal with when it comes to ordering new oem parts.
