door moulding chrome strips?
I'm so ****, but bought the car with the chrome strips dented and it drives me nuts! Anyone know a repair shop or replacement pieces?

I know that feeling. I have one ding in mine and it drives me crazy. The only thing keeping me from replacing it is that you have to get at it from inside the door, which means removing the interior trim on the door. Maybe it's easy, but I'm willing to bet it's a pain in B-hole.
I actually bought some black vinyl wrap to cover up the chrome, but I haven't done it yet.

You do not have to remove any interior panels to remove the trim. They are held on with two screws, and then slide right off. The chrome is held on to the painted portion with clips. Open the door and look. They are T20 silver screws. One at the front of the door. The other is at the rear.Remove the screws, and slide the trim to the rear. It is that simple!

If you can find them. They are not available separately from MB.
They are not available separately for the 03-06 models, yet are available for the 07-09 style bumpers through MB.

I guess I should have said chrome rails. Not under the window but the ones about 3/4 of the way down the door. Today I finished taking off the rest of it. Turns out a combo of goo gone and clay did the trick.
