I have the chrome trim in my Sport, but have not had any problems. I think there are a lot of ways you could cover the trim, a clear matte paint or an adhesive film. Some of the other models have a dull silver trim, maybe you could buy just the trim and replace yours.

 

That glare is terrible, even with tinted windows. I painted that trim on a 2012 3500 Laramie that I just traded for a 2014 1500, and I'll be doing it on the new one.

That trim piece pops out real easy, then you can paint it with the black Krylon textured paint(Walmart) and it will match the black plastic of the cupholder/console almost perfectly. Just make sure that you rough up the chrome first. I'm the kind of person who hates to mess with oem parts on a new truck, but this was well worth it. I don't have any pics, but if you browse around over on cumminsforums, you should be able to see pics that others have posted. It's a pretty common complaint over there.

How did you explain that to your wife (spray painting your $50,000 truck)?

While I'm at it... the LED light that lights the console reflects of the same dam trim piece... it then reflects off the passenger's window (at night obviously). It looks like a distant headlight when you stop at an intersection.

 

One of the first things I did to my Ram was paint that trim ring. I scuffed it up real good with a Scotchbrite pad then hit it with 2 coats of textured flat black paint. Still looks great 2 years later.

 

I had the sun issue the other day . You said the trim just pops off?

 

Yep. I pried up a corner just a little bit and then used my hands to work around the trim and pop it up.

 

There are 9 little tabs that hold it in place. Take a screw driver and pry it up at each of those tabs. It comes out easily but if you just try pulling you may break it.

 

Yep, Ive experienced this. I just block it with the pouch that my sunglasses are stored in until its no longer a problem.

 

I've had it blind me a few times. I keep a microfiber cloth in the center console to wipe the screen down with, so I just put that over the bright spot for a few minutes. I like the look otherwise so I deal with it. BTW, I've had a lot of other cars with this exact issue.

 

happens to me.....zero f*&^s given to the trim mod. lol

 

didnt read the responces but...
you should wrap it in the vinyl wrap. you can buy rolls of it on ebay cheap and its easy to work with. it wont harn anything and will come of no problem. it looks very nice when done right. just put it on and razor blade the edge! 1000s of different styles. have fun

 

I had the same issue with my 2010 1500 and I painted it with Plastidip. It matches the black plastic very well and it looked like new 3 years later.

A couple weeks ago I traded that truck in and bought a new 2014 2500 Bighorn. I was prepared to do this on my new truck but it does not have this issue. The trim piece is more of a satin or brushed look. It does not reflect the sun like the chrome piece.

If you look on the Mopar site, there are two different part numbers listed for this piece. One part # is 1HS06SZ0AA and the other is 1HS06SZ6AA. A Google Image search for 1HS06SZ0AA shows some pictures of the chrome trim but there are no images for the other. Maybe the 1HS06SZ6AA is the satin finish.

 

I too painted mine black. Looks good and no more glare.
