Cleaning the plastic trim around the rear sliding window?

[bluecheese]

2017 Ram 1500

The plastic trim above and below the rear sliding window is looking streaked and grimy. Any suggestions on how to clean it? The truck is washed every 2 weeks, but regular washing isn’t helping with this.

You could try this. This is what we use to clean compound off of trim. I have seen it darken back up rubber.

I bought these. My truck had some damage on the top trim piece when I purchased it. Dealer was going to have to replace the whole window. I didn’t want that. Did not want leakage problems down the road. Fit perfect and look factory.

Clean the area good with alcohol. I warmed mine up with a hair dryer and put them on. Stuck on there like a magnet. They ain’t coming off.

Those look pretty cool. How long have you had them on your truck?

 

[JNelson]

A little over a year.

Any issues with the covers retaining water when washing the truck? Any placement/fitment issues?

None at all. Look and feel like OEM. Only better.

Here’s another. Looks a little less expensive. Found this on another post.

Could always cover it up raised, Chrome, LUND lettering.
