- Many Cadillacs have experienced a failure of the clear coat on the gloss black trim surrounding the windows. This early failure results in your car not looking Cadillac status! My car only has 90k miles and spends most of its life in the garage and this has already started to happen. In this video I show you how to replace the trim with OEM parts.

Thank you for this! I have a 15’ V sport and I’m having the same issue, I found the replacement parts a while ago but this tutorial for replacing will most definitely help. Keep the CTS content coming!!
I just started working and wanna get a cts and just change parts overtime, found this channel so I’ll be saving videos
Hope you get one!
Remember it’s still a Cadillac. The parts aren’t always cheap.
@@JetFuelOnly thank you I do too, please keep these videos up if you can
Another great video as always! What I love most about this one is the how not to. Any DIY guy/gal will tell you things don't always go to plan and this will save some pain for anyone else who might attempt this one on their own.
Another "Hero" video! Can't wait to fix this issue!
One of my next mods down here in SFL. Bought my VSport with a little cloudy rear passenger and some 'car wash' scratched B pillars.
Tha k god for this video my 18 cts v has all 4 of these trims lifting and delaming

Cheers, Vail, Colorado 8,150ft at the driveway. ...
Ha well in a couple weeks I’ll be following your dad’s footsteps at United.
Thanks brotha, same thing is happening to my car 😢
Fixing to do this front and back
Thanks for the video. Mine is terrible which it sits in the sun so no surprise...
Just bought my 2019 CTS yesterday and I love it. But how do you get yours to sit low and level?
Lowering springs. Visit www.refinedperformanceusa.com/
Hey bro what size tires and rims do you have on your CTS? Love your videos BTW 💪
Thank you. These are 19s. 245 up front and 275 width rear.
And you did a 2 inch lowering spring all around?
@co4988 no I think they were 1.5 front and 1 in the back or something. These springs aren’t sold anymore
I have 18 inch rims on mine makes me wonder if I should put 1 or 1-1/2 inch in front and 2 inch in the back lowering springs what do you recommend?
@co4988 your rim size doesn’t matter in this case… if you want to fill the wheel well with tire you can get a taller tire but that’s not how it’s supposed to work and it wouldn’t look right. Also there aren’t many options when it comes to lowering springs. I don’t think Weaponx has been shipping lately so RFperformance sprint springs are one of the few options. I also don’t suggest mixing springs.
Did u make a video for the front?
No. The front requires interior door panel to be removed (I have a video for that) then you can access the screws to pull off the belt molding
@@JetFuelOnly I was able to make it work...with out pulling it apart...thanks tho...came out good
What percentage are your tints
Lumarr 15% ceramic. I’m told it’s closer to 20%
Why not just lightly sand with 600 or so and re-spray a clear coat without removing anything??
That’s a path you could choose but I suck at painting.
