The OEM steering wheel buttons wear easily and ruin the look of the steering wheel and the vehicles interior.
The steering wheel audio control rubber buttons wear / delaminate causing light to leak from the buttons. Until now the only solution for this common fault from the manufacturer was to replace the complete button units at vast expense. Rather than just replacing the component that fails- the rubber buttons. Unfortunately, even this solution is flawed as the buttons would just wear again causing the same issues. If replacing the complete button unit, it is also not uncommon for the trim colour to not match up with the rest of the vehicles trim as shades vary, another good reason to replace just the rubber buttons that fail.
Symptoms of the fault
The steering wheel audio control buttons are worn, rubbed off, edges deteriorated, light leaking / bleeding where painted or rubber has worn off.
