Touareg :: Cleaning The Chrome Trim?
Nov 20, 2005
The trim that goes around the windows, etc. I looked at the topics on detailing in the FAQ and didn't see this mentioned in them. My trim has water marks on it from water drying on it after the detailers at the lot cleaned the car before I picked it up Friday. I am hoping to get the car all cleaned up and a good sealant and wax put on it before I start heading to Colorado for skiing in about a month.
Anyways, that trim is driving me nuts because every kind of metal polisher, cleaner, etc. I find on the detailing sites says to keep it off painted surfaces which I think would be about impossible since that strip is about 1cm wide and runs right along painted body panels.

What works best on the outer window trim and lower rocker panel chrome/stainless steel trim (unsure what it is)? This is an 04 treg, that has been trough two winters and will see many more. I need to keep her tip top! Seems like the trim is oxidizing.

My main question is since I don't like the chrome on my windows and I am getting visors what are my option. Is it common to just put the clip ins and leave the chrome or do what i have been reading which is to black out your chrome? If i put the 3m typed style visors do i go right on top of the chrome or not and if not how do i go about blacking that out? Which brand 3m stick on visors recommended for the darkest color and slickest look?

How can I take the below door chrome trim off? I started wrapping one in 5d carbon fiber and I am about to take it off and start again. It would be so much easier if i could snap these off.

Looking at a CPO 2008 Passat Komfort and noticed that all of the chrome trim is fading/oxidizing/cloudy. Is this common on the vehicle? No luck with the search...

Trying to find a local shop here that will wrap my chrome trim around my grill. I had one shop tell me that they would have to section the grill near the top and that it couldn't be wrapped in one piece. I was shown an example and it was terrible, the overlay line was way too visible. I went to another shop today that said they could wrap it in one piece but I would need to take the trim piece off and bring it to them first. Any close pics of grill trim I could use as a reference.

Picked up my new 2013 Sonata GL 3-weeks ago. Noticed a little surface rust on the front struts when I picked it up and when I was washing it for the first time last week I saw a rust spot where the chrome trim mounts on the hood. I removed the trim and took these photos...

So the chrome trim is coming off in multiple spots on my car. Both sides and the back are messed up. The drivers door trim is gone along with the passenger door trim and a little part in the back .... What to do or how to replace it.

I was searching for instruction how to replace the chrome trim that appears to be a seperate piece of trim on the rear of the Phaeton. Mine has some issues on the passenger side and would like to remove it to have it either repaired or replaced.

I've got an '07 2.0T MT6 Sport with about 18,000 miles. The round chrome trim ring on the fan speed control knob of the Climatronic panel came loose yesterday. This is the piece between the rotating knob and the two buttons in the center. It's now sticking out a little from the knob and is rattling around.
Is there a way to pop this back on easily? It doesn't look like it's going to fall off completely, but I can't find a way to put it back either. Obviously it should be covered under warranty, but I'd like to avoid a trip to the dealer if there's an easy DIY fix.

Having problems with the trim on their power window panel bubbling or tearing away? I was just wondering if he dealer covered it or if it was "wear and tear." You'd think for the price of these things, it would be covered.

I checked my driver side leather seat (V8) and found that the trim was cracked.
When I slow down my car smoothly when driving, the transmission was not downshifted smoothly after 20K service.

I noticed the bottom dark grey trim on the front passenger door is sticking out. Looks like the panel/trim is prying away from the door.

Just got my new Passat this week. Could not believe how much the Sun reflects from the chrome around the shifter, it also reflects from the brushed aluminum. Have not read anything about this on this forum so it must be only me. After four days, great car.

How do I pop the panel with the mirror switch and window switches? On the MKIV, I just removed the piece inside the handle and the panel pops up... the MKV doesn't seem to work that way.
