Windscreen and rear window trims - burgundy or UV damage??

The plastic / rubber trims round my windscreen and rear window are dark red in colour and have been since I brought the car in 2009. The car is an 03 CC with grey interior but the nicer (in my view) dark burgundy centre console and door trims. They help "warm" the grey, but that's another issue. Anyway I always assumed the screen trim was meant to be the same dark red to match the interior trims and to my eyes this looked fine against the blu netune paint.

I have to have a new screen thanks to a massive stone chip and this first turned up with a black surround. I sent this back saying I wanted a red one. Maserati are telling the screen people that the trim is only ever black and that the red colour is sun damage that is quite common. News to me.

Does anyone know what the truth of the matter is? I am quite prepared to be wrong here; the only trouble being that I quite like the sun damaged dark red colour if that is what it turns out to be!

Thanks

Dom

How did the eye test go, Adam?

Eye test fine thanks Drew. I can spy a gnats nuts at twenty paces. Even better, I enjoy delusions of distinguished and rugged good looks. Which means I can swagger with the shameless confidence denied to anyone cursed with heightened self-awareness.

The new rose tinted glasses arrived, then?

Mateus Rosé tinted brain? It's worse than I thought...

Deftly steering us back to the subject, perhaps that's the problem with the seal?
