Another common issue on the W204 is the pealing of the clear coat on the roof trim strips. it looks real crappy once it starts happening. I can only imagine how much a new set cost, so here is how i took mine off, sprayed it gloss black and put it back on came out suprisingly nice and just cost a can of spray and a sheet of sandpaper.

Also note the strips are metal and not plastic so dont bend them too much or they will just be trashed.

where can I get the plastic tool to take the trim off? also did you take all of the peeling off or you just painted over the peeling?

@YusufPetersenCPT 3 жыл бұрын

I got it from Takealot, but i saw someone just pull it off but they start from the windscreen so ima go ahead and say you dont need that tools. Well i peeled most of the peeling paint off and then sanded smooth what i couldnt get off. I just sprayed over it all. Its not perfect but looks much better than before.
