Difficulty: Intermediate · About 60 min · Chrysler 300

Replace the upper chrome window-frame trim on a 2005–2010 Chrysler 300 by removing the front door panel and transferring the panel wiring carefully.

Steps

1. Remove the door panel

   Release the handle trim and remove its Phillips screw. Remove the lower panel clips and screws, then free the panel and disconnect the latch cable, switch wiring, and courtesy lamp.

2. Remove the window-frame trim

   Release the black retaining clips and remove the upper window-frame trim panel. Remove its two T25 screws and slide the chrome trim toward the rear to release it.

3. Install the replacement trim

   Align the new chrome trim with the frame and slide it into position. Reinstall the T25 screws, then press the black clips and window-frame trim back into place.

4. Reinstall the door panel

   Reconnect the courtesy light, harness retainers, window switches, and latch rod. Lift the panel over the lock, press its clips in, and reinstall the screws and trim covers.

5. Check fit and operation

   Confirm the chrome trim is seated evenly along the frame. Test the window switch, courtesy light, and door handle before closing the door.

Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
