The paint on the roof trim of my car is peeling very badly and definitely needs repainting. Any specific product I should use?

ANDDD, how would I go about removing the roof trim to accomplish this task? If even possible.

Thanks! - Kollyn

 

are you talking about the black edging?

 

Indeed.

 

The trim pulls right off very easily. Start at the bottom of the windshield and work towards the back. You just kind of get your fingers underneath and pop them off.

I have read several different way to fix them Personally I look for a set from a 98 S70 for a sedan or V70 for a wagon and put them on. They have the rain deflectors on the side and they do NOT peel like the ones on the 850.

I have heard of people picking all the coating that is peeling off totally off and putting just plain black tape on them and trimming it to fit. I have also heard of people just polishing them after they peel all the old stuff off.

If I were keeping them, I would try the black tape and see how that works.
