try again?

i posted a while back that my chrome door trim and body trim (where the door handle is don't line up properly). the driver's door is about an 1/8" off and the passenger door is maybe 3/16". i took the car to the dealer and complained so they agreed to fix it. they put new door trim on both sides and it still looks the same the doors line up fine. its just the trim. anybody know how i can adjust the chrome trim inwards some (horizontally) besides a big hammer? Thanks all

Mine is the same way have taken to the dealer and they haven't been able to line them up either (if they have even tried). Every cooper I see is just about the same way. I just gave up and have learned to deal with it. Very disappointing from a car that costs $37K

no doubt. someone posted something about a DIY method on here but didn't elaborate about how to do it
