This can be a very easy fix. The trim strips are just sdnapped in to fitting along teh windshield and roof. Best bet is to buy a set of S or V 70 trim strips, depending on wagon or sedan, and just snap them into position. the coating on the x70's seems much more durable, and the 70's also have a neat water diverter beside the windshield that is about $50. as a separate aftermarket fix on the 850. I got a set of V70 strips for opne of our 855's from hank Bates on this board, and the fix was less than $75 and 20 minutes. Others have just pulled the trim off, and repainted it with various productsd. Again, easy and quick, but the x70 trim is the real answer.
