Someone told me they though it was from people eating while trying to drive, but IDK. My car has the same problem but MUCH worse. Keep your eye on morad too, Chibi told me about a wheel that they had a awhile back and I've kicked myself for not jumping on it when he showed it to me!

I don't get how people's buttons can look that way...

10 years of using mine and they still look new?

I would email morad, ask if they have any.

I have wear on mine too. Bought the car used, and i think the previous owner used her nails to push the buttons, or maybe used a ring on her finger to assist in pushing them. I'll replace them someday.

WOW yeah X2!

I just picked up a new steering wheel from a guy on another forum for $50 shipped in great condition. Came off a car with only 40K or something like that.

If I was you I would put a feeler out there and see what people say. That's what I did and got a great deal. Actually now that I think of it he still has another wheel that he is trying to sell. Its from another SE or Pace Car. Grey/Black SS steering wheel. I think he wants like $90 or something. If interested I can send you his info.

I'm joining in on this too... MY volume button is worn out as well... VERY UPSETTING!(purchased my car used as well) I too can't understand how one could wear them out in that fashion... i was at a salvage yard, but the newest Monte Carlo available was a 94... I'm looking to replace just the ONE button but don't know how difficult it would be to pull out and how difficult it would be to find a replacement. Please let me know where all of you go with this in the future... Thanks a lot!!

didn't you bought that off of me? i remember i sold to somebodya long time ago in the other mc forum, lol.

when i bought my car i have same problem with the button all worn out too and i heard same thing that people (women) use their nails to switch station/turn volume. mine was own by a woman btw. lucky i still had warranty left at the time and it cover for cosmetic. i got brand new set replaced. all the buttons on mine are disable now cuz of after market stereo, but that's ok i got remote for my stereo which is good enough.
