| 2006 Boxster S.....Black rubber radio buttons sticky (no jokes). Any option to replace them? atwnsw - Sunday, 11 September, 2011, at 8:35:22 pm |
I am borderline obsessive using Purell hand sanitizer and I suspect that I have been getting the Purell on the radio buttons (mainly the far right On/Off button). Normally I put the sanitizer on my hands after I sit in the car and then reach to turn the radio on/off. I remember in the past the only way to clean the buttons was to remove the entire radio console. Has that changed?
Any solutions to replace the on/off radio button?
I can post photos if necessary.
Other than the 2 rubber buttons (one for on/off and the other for manually choosing the station), the rest is just fine...

Suncoast will sell you new knobs...I think they're about $16ea for the 986's, not sure if it is the same part for the 987's.
I bought a spray can of plastic coat and sprayed mine. They came out ok... not as good as new but certainly acceptable.
I think Pedro has some instructions in his DYI section.

Otherwise you'll end up purchasing expensive radio buttons every couple of years.

| Suncoast charges $70 including tax + shipping for 2 radio knobs.... Maybe DIY is the way to go... atwnsw - Monday, 12 September, 2011, at 9:52:36 am |

... very little to lose.
Dunk the sticky knobs in Plasti Dip and see if you like them.
If you do, problem solved, and it only cost you 5 bucks.
If not you have the option of getting new ones.
