Even if you found new trim, it wouldn't be as high quality I expect... nor would it have the right angles. The original is stainless, and of very high quality... do your best to save it.. It is in 3 pieces, and I expect the front two would be the same as on other 140 and maybe 240 wagons... its taht rearmost piece taht you don't want to lose.

You also might check with a local body shop...they might have tips on removing it, or even do if for you for not too much $. Its common stuff to see on any variety of cars, and I'm sure there is a trick to doing it right.
