Hey, Chris... Sounds like a good idea.  Probably many of us have the stuff in lousy looking condition.  What is your tool and method of choice?  Needle-nose pliers from the split where the ends join?  Any special recommendations?

Thanks from all of us in the faded trim club,

    Does anyone have a line on new, 
    window seal groove, plastic-chrome trim? 
    Mine is quite faded. 
    Any help sure is appreciated! 

  just rip it all out!!!  you dont need it.   doesnt leak and looks better 
  without it anyway.
