Replacing the chrome and plastic door moulding
Has anyone had this done? My GL is only a couple months old and some tool wacked the rear passenger side door with their car door. Luckily, there is no body/paint damage. The plastic moulding absorbed the beating as it should, but the chrome strip is noticeably bent. I was just wondering if this is an expensive or difficult project for the dealership to do well.
Also, I do my best to park in spaces that aren't tight. I try to park a few spaces away from other cars so that there are always spaces that are closer to whatever building I'm going in. I try to do it in a not so obvious way so I don't get keyed. Still, it seems like (particulary when it is clean) that someone always parks right next to me even though there are twenty spaces closer. My father who has a black S Class said that he has noticed the same thing. Am I paranoid? I had a toyota 4Runner for 8 years prior to the GL and never got a door ding.
