what cha ma-call'em window thingy's
well on the 2dr 97 , the black almost...frame of the side back windows...mines weathered to the point of looking...suede almost (wish my cam battery had some life left) ...i was told by mom, some one had told her, to tell me ( confused yet?)
lol to sand it smooth spray it with black primer, sand it again and hit it a couple times with black high gloss(or my pref.)...is this even replacable or am i doomed to have to fix it my self..i'd much prefer some one who knows what they're doing instead of me i get kinda clueless in the middle of a project (good ol A.D.D.) and loose interest shortly after...

That piece with be referred to as the window trim. Just about every 2dr out there is in the same situation as you. They ALL pitted and faded due to sun and weather (including mine). I have yet to see one in fairly good shape thats been on the road for a while...
Anyway, simple solution. There are several members that have re-done theres, and plenty of pics and info on how to do it. You can sand it, prime it and paint it again. If it's really badly pitted you might not get the same finish as it would have been from factory but it will look better that's for sure. You may want to try using some sort of filler if you have really bad pitting. If you do paint it you will have to do it on the truck. The trim is part of the window piece and does NOT come off the truck without removing the entire window.
