Hi all
Does anyone know who to contact to make all the aluminium trim that goes around the windows shiny again? Mine is scratched and dull and needs sorting before it can go back on?
Thanks a lot folks

Re: Alloy shiny window trim
Have you got a photo of that wiper blade in its entirety? Something doesn't look right but can't make it out.
As for the metal polishing, I think it will be a case of going through the yellow pages and finding a good old fashioned metal refinisher place! Or you could try it yourself with some polishing compound and elbow grease or a machine polisher?

Re: Alloy shiny window trim
Solvo autsolve, if the scratches are too deep then you could use this kit from ebay.

But, be careful when using the drill and wheels not to get the ally to hot or it will damage the trim

Re: Alloy shiny window trim
That is how mine look, the metal bar which is currently extending over to the passenger side wiper on your photo is suppose to be in parallel to the main wiper arm and attaches to the wiper arm shaft as in my photo. Im sorry the photo isn't zoomed into the wiper it was for something else. ill try to do a better pic next time I'm with my car.
basically though, if you grab the bar which is extending towards the passenger side and swivel it 180 thats how it should be aligned
