Default Black paint peeling off front window trim, should I fix?

I have a 2004 S-Type that I've owned for 5 years. When I bought it, it had some of the black paint peeling off the window trim on the front window (passengers side). I'm not sure if it's gotten worse, or if I've just been noticing it more lately because of how the sun has been hitting it, but it's been bothering me lately. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing it? I'm not really a DIY car person, so is it something the dealer could fix? I've attached a pic, so you know what I'm referring to.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You can replace the trim pieces or put some chemical on there like back to black or even color it with sharpie.

Mine wasn't peeling, but it started fading. So I "painted" it with some forever black. It was cheaper than replacing it and the color held up well.
