Default Steering Wheel Buttons Wearing Down

My steering wheel buttons are starting to show wear, primarily with the volume control. I am starting to see glow through the buttons in areas that is not supposed to show. Any suggestions on what to do? I wonder if the buttons can simply pop off and I can replace with new ones.

Yup mine too. Just replace it with a Boss or GT500 when somebody releases a badass coupon for one.

Few guys picked em up for like 199 bucks? I dunno was a couple months back.

Oh really? Nice! What dealer did it? Seems I am having issues with Grapevine Ford wanting to do anything under warranty.

Your buttons will wear down too buddy! Besides why would stray away from a 10-12 body style? They are the best looking anyway

I shouldn't have to talk to a manager to get simple warranty work done...

I was going to say.. Dan go to another dealership as long as you're under the 3yr/36k warranty MUST replace them.

X2. I never use the steering wheel buttons. Don't even notice they are there until at night when the buttons are illuminated.

I have to every time I go. It's bullshit really. Same thing when I bought the car. I told the sales guy why do I even need you when you keep going to your manager? I just go straight to the manager now.
