Do this, sort of.... Instead of using a vinyl you would wrap a car with, go to a trim supply place and find an upholstery vinyl that matches your trim. They have tons of different textures and shades out there. Then use an adhesive to attach it. I usually use 3M 90 spray adhesive.
It looks like this...


If the trim piece is brittle, you can also use a little fiberglass to reinforce it before wrapping. Just be careful, because wrapping it in vinyl is already going to make the piece fit tighter when it goes back on, so don't build up the edges too much unless it is cracking or looks like it could crack when you wrap it.
