Deteriorating climate control *****
I know this has been discussed over the last few years especially as it relates to the radio ***** and the sticky plastic coating......but the climate control ***** that can't be removed are a bigger issue...... if you rub them it removes color and the labels ....
Has anyone discovered a solution?

Yes...Pretty reasonable too, when you consider the cheapest Dealer/OEM fix is $500-600!

Those do look pretty bad in the post. There were many others that were happy, so maybe a quality control issue, or the product has degraded, or he just got a bad batch?

Good luck,

4LUX is infamous around these parts
I posted over on the other post on these, mine are not that bad. I must have got one of the good batches. Planning on installing them this weekend with my Tranzit Blue HF, if it shows up. Here is a pic of my existing switches, I will post a pic when I get the Clima's installed.

I just had mine redone by sticky no more about a week ago.

They are absolutely perfect, and they turned them around in less than a week.

They dont take credit cards, and gave me a discount for cash

highly recommended.

Did you go for the panel or the buttons? Was this an easy self install or did you need to have a shop install?
