Exterior window trim replacement

I have a 2014 mazda 3 s touring which came with chrome window trim. I've seen the newer 3s with black rubber trim. I was wondering if I ordered the black trim would it fit on my car? I asked the parts clerk at the dealership and he had no idea. I dipped the trim but it keeps peeling and I want a permanent solution. Any advice is greatly appreciated

Yes they will fit. I had the chrome too and didn't like it. My car was in the shop and since they needed to replace the two rear chrome moldings, I told them to go ahead and changed the fronts as well to black. They were cheap and car looks so much better

I think they 20 each or both not sure but not much. They are for the lowere trims below I touring

No I thinks it's just a bunch of clips. It's better replacing them as new than reinstalling. The clips get loose and usually won't be snug as new. It's in the service manual

Are those the part numbers? I just called them and they said 8 different parts popped up and they don't know which one goes with my model since it originally came with chrome. They said there's no way in telling which one will fit. Wouldn't the same black rubber trim used on lower models fit the same since all the 3s are basically identical?

I feel like wrapping that would be better? that paying all that money? But I don't now. I just bought this car two days ago. I definitely hate the chrome and hate the chrome on the front bumper too. I'm for sure going to get that wrapped.

I ordered and installed the black ones at home by myself. Cost was about $135 CAD so about $100 USD for all 4 doors.
They’re being held on by several clips each and if you plan on plastidip or wrap it, don’t. It’s a waste of money and will not hold.
The area you are plastidipping is too narrow and it will come off in less then a year.
It’s also hard to wrap this without taking it off. And when taking it off even if you’re careful the clips will break.
Just get the black ones and you will not have to ever think about this.

I have listed the exact part numbers for a car built in Japan in my build thread (see my signature with link below).
