997 gummy AC control button removal
in 997-1 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 2S, Carrera 4S)
Posted
Hi,
Just bought a beautiful 2006 Carrera S, and the climate control buttons are nasty. The rubberised coating is coming off. Apparently this is a common problem, especially in hotter climates (I live in Dubai), and some have had luck getting the issue addressed under warranty. My car is out of warranty, and the only repair Porsche suggested is replacing the whole climate control unit (ouch!). Does anybody have experience removing the AC console, and then removing the 2 controls (temperature and fan) from the console. Then it's a simple matter of getting them repainted ("Sticky No More" is highly recommended). Pictures would be a BIG help.
Thanks in advance,
Mark G., Dubai, UAE.
