I have GL 550 x166 (2013)
and my chrome window trims are quite used (chrome went off as can bee seen on the picture).
I would like to replace them but i am not sure where to get new ones and what is the part numbers of the trims
Can anyone please let me know
1) the part number of the trims
2) where can I buy new ones
3) is it possible to repair/repaint existing ones?
Thank you trims moldings chrome is worn off i would like to replace 6 items on both sides (total 12)
I would use vinyl wrap. Easy, cheap, and last. Many color options.
Thanks, i will consider that.
1) is vinyl wrap available in chrome?
2) is it relatively easy to do it myself or better take it to someone who knows what he is doing?
I used black vinyl on mine. Did it myself not too hard no real previous experience but took my time and was pretty simple. Trim was still in good shape but yours looks to be rough to the touch so the imperfections will show thru the wrap I think.
Thanks for your replies.
Wow, that is very niche job - with black vynil.
I think i prefer Chrome - i will try to find someone who can do that for me- because i am too busy at work recently and do not want to wait too long...
What are pros and cons of vynil wrap compared to repainting?

wrap is faster and cheaper should last the rest of the time you own the car.

How do you remove the upper window trim molding on the GLS 550? It appears to be different than a W205 which is the only other model I've taken them off, and I cannot find a single video or any instructions for removing them.
