How to remove chrome trim??
Does anybody know how to remove the chrome trim the window seals?

See on the pic...



I assume it's just back under there, correct? I'm not sure what the previous owner did.

Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

actually the clk430's come standard with the chrome trim. Several members have removed the chrome and replaced it with the CLK55 black trim. If you have a blacked out front grill, the black trim will make the car look more clean.
