i have a 99 civic ex and the sun has destroyed the window trim. i've seen this on a lot of civics so i figure you guys would know where i could buy the replacement rubber strip that would fit the car nicely. honda dealership was no help. thanks!

 

Just paint it.

 

would look horrible

 

Ive seen plenty of people paint it and look fine. Just buy the right kind of paint. Or get new pieces from ebay or a junk yard.

 

i guess i could paint it and if i hate it, i can still always find the rubber pieces. can you find those pieces on ebay? i can't find them anywhere but i don't know much about finding honda parts anyways. thanks.

 

Be nice if they made something you could rub onto the rubber when it firsts starts cracking to fill in the cracks and add a coat of protection like wax. All I have seen is the "revitalizer" which only seems like it is for color. Right now mine is just starting to show the cracks, and I know eventually it will look like the above pic

 

i ended up sanding the rubber down a bit and painting it with duplicolor flat black trim paint. good product. would look really good if i had the patience to sand all of the rubber away. looks much better than before though. i'm just trying to make it look a bit better to sell the car.
