Small chip! Replacing Black External Trim/Appliqué on Door Frame

brownbear_M5 · 05-25-2020, 07:44 PM

Does anyone know how to replace the external gloss black trim on the F90 door frame? I have a small chip somehow, it's driving me wild, and I can get the part for $53. Not quite sure how to install it though.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Looking at the videos, I am assuming it would be similar to this. The biggest question is what is the torx/screw bit.

Could always wrap it in 3m black

Torx screw bit is a 6 point star shaped alternative to a phillips screwdriver. Can find them at any hardware / auto parts store.
