what is the best to take care of the chrome around the windows? I am not interested in shadowline trim. The chrome has waterspots and kind of white haze. How can I get this out? If I cannot is it a warranty item?

Martin, I would try some chrome polish. If it's etched too deeply, it will need to be replaced. Trim is a warranty item, but not sure if spots/haze are covered as "defective."

Mother's makes a good polish.
