Found the part on REALOEM. I see High gloss black...but this doesnt appear to be high gloss black.

This part is peeling...like the door pull and steering wheel.
Which part should I order? Mine looks Matte.......but CANT find the part number for Matte.

How do you remove this? There are light coming out beneath it.

Thanks

Those are called Luminous Door Strips & they don't have them in Gloss Black, so not sure what you where looking at

If that realoem link is for your specific car then you need Item #3 in Schwarz (Black)

To replace them you need to remove door panel as they are attached to panel from rear. You will also need to disconnect the fiber optic light connector from the strip - be careful with this

You might as well get a couple of the circular retaining clips (item #14) also as they are hard to remove without messing them up...

I came upon this video of how to restore door pull handles that have also bubbled. I will tape off the areas under and above my car's luminous lighting strips and then use 91% isopropyl alcohol followed with plasticx and some good wax (as seen in the below link) in lieu of purchasing the lighting strips and then having to pull the door panel off.
