Chrome trim around windows - Help me remove it!

So the wonderful guys wrapping my car are having a hard time wrapping the chrome black that goes around the windows. It would be a hell of a lot easier to remove it, wrap it and put it back on.

Has anyone done this or have any genius ideas how to do it?

Thank you

Prep work is a pain, but you could tape it off and plastidip it. It is something you could do yourself.

I had mine wrapped with no issues, the trim did not have to be removed. Maybe you should stop the work and find a more experienced specialist. My wrap has been on the car for over two years, no problem.

Hi guys....thats my first input here at mbworld...

Thats the same Problem that i had last week....a member at motor talk.de told me that, there is a seal along the windows, so you have to remove it and than you will see the screws. You must loosen these screws to remove the chrom.

I will do that at the weekend and show you some pictures.

I hope that i could help with my bad english.

Best regards from Germany

I'm going elsewhere. I won't even post the photo's of how it's been done.

I think it can be done right! Removal or not. Any photo's of yours by chance?

I haven't got a close up of the wrap work but here is a link to my initial post.

https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-c...550-coupe.html

I had my grill, window trim, drl housing and rear trim all wrapped in black vinyl and nothing had to be removed. As a matter of fact, they didn't want to remove anything as the labour to do that is significant and there is a chance that the parts will be damaged and not replaced properly.

Awesome to know it can be done properly.... Not like this! In case you're wondering... yes that's permanent marker

Oh man, could be worse, but it's certainly unacceptable.
