How to protect climate control buttons?
« on: 19 March 2012, 20:35:05 »

Hi all

This probably isn`t the right place for this but if its any good to anybody could one of the Mods please move to right place.

I finally got a climate control in very good condition with all buttons still A1.
To protect them from wearing i have pinched the wifes clear nail polish and given each button a couple of coats (just the buttons).
Its been a few weeks and seems to be working fine.
You need a steady hand tho !
Well hope this is of some use to someone!

I think it's greasy fingers that speed the removal of the facelift rubber coating on the switches, if you've just eaten a bag of crisps for example.

Put it on auto. And leave it there. Adjust by temp only. Unless it mists up in the cold of course.
