Steering Wheel buttons look crappy
 
The radio control and cruise control buttons on my Monte Carlo are all scratched up. They came that way when I bought it, witht he exception of a few cracks in the leather, and the paint peeling off the buttons the car was clean. How can I get these buttons repainted or replaced?

Junk yard? Parts company.

Strangly this seems to be a common problem and yet nobody has made aftermarket replacements.

Mine are so bad that the seek and volume buttons are just green blobs on the steering wheel. Have thought about just painting them black and learn what they are by touch. I hope someone else out there comes up with a better idea. Can't reall see finding decent replacements in the junk yard and hate to think what GM would charge, that is if they won't make you buy the whole steering wheel to get the buttons.

Sounds like a late night road trip to chibi's house is in my future... Say buddy what time do you go to sleep? How about when do wake in the morning? Any big dogs or guns in your house? :D

I honestly don't know what the PO did to those buttons. The ones on the radio and AC controls look brand new.

Did find on GMDirect.com that they had something that MIGHT be the buttons but no picture, just a poor drawing. The both of them were something like $85. Didn't have any parts numbers to check with the loacl Stealership. Might be well worth it to get new ones rather then junkyard parts

I got lucky and got some on a part out. Before that I just spray painted them with flat black paint, the vinyl stuff from dupicolor. Looked way better and didnt wear barely at all. Just dont break them prying them out lol. THe lights under them are really bright!!!

you still have warranty? mine was faded out too, but the dealer replaced it cause it was still under warranty at that time.
