well the duplicolor trim paint that I saw was for rubber trim moldings like on car bumpers so I would guess it would do ok on window rubber too. Ill check their website out. Mine are terrible as you can see in my sig!

Found this on their website "Formulated to restore OEM Flat Black finish to metal trim and moldings around windows, on body sides and other vehicle areas."

http://www.duplicolor.com/products/trim.html

Only comes in flat black though, not sure how it will look with my glossy B-pillars.

You are correct on the location, someone tried to break into it by prying that piece up and trying to get in the door. Boneheads. They apparently tried to break the window also - repeatedly - and failed. There are a 5 or 6 deeps scuff marks on the window.

This is how it comes out, at least on the "hard" plastic:

Wiper Cowl


You can see some of the rubber trim around the windshield to compare. Granted, that rubber is untreated, from an 01 F250. As I said earlier, I'll probably be doing this to mine since I have some of the trim paint laying around. Just have to wait for finals to be over tomorrow.

Hah, yea, I have to take 2 summer classes as well, so I'll have to do it between the 2 week break we get

Kinnda sucks, though, since 3 of my finals are tomorrow. Should probably get back to studying. At least I'll be done, though.

I think that's who it's made by. It's the one mentioned earlier in the thread (one in a green can).

It says its flat black, so if its not glossy to match your pillars (if they are glossy) then add some clear coat.
