I think that I actually posted something about this before but I couldn't find the post. The chrome trim/weather stirpping around the back window and now a little on the front too got rust in it a few weeks after I bought the car. There is no way to clean it because it has rubber over it to seal out the water. I think someone said something about replacing it with black. Where do I get it to replace it? Thanks..here is a picture to clarify what has gotten rust it is before the rust though..It's more an orangeish red now.

The dealer(s) offers a black window trim kit & it's pretty cheap. It's a direct replacement for those rusty ones. They use to warranty those strips because those "pysuedo chrome" ones would trap moisture under the clear coating and it looked like jizz
