Replacement of rear window trim on wagon

Post by gtamike »

The exterior trim at the base of the rear hatch window where it meets the metal on my 850 is in poor shape. I caught the corner of it when I was drying the car and pulled some of it out.

I couldn't find any previous posts on this subject so my questions are...

- is the trim piece only available at the dealer?
- is it difficult to replace?
- can anyone offer any tips tricks to replace it?

Thanks

I believe it is a dealer only item, but it is not hard to replace.
