Thanks for responding. Yes I have a 3.5.is and it is just the top I want to replace. The surface has started to break up for some reason.clarker63 said:IRD said:Does anyone know if it is possible to replace the individual switches in the console?

The tops can be replaced.. I notice you've put a post out to buy one. you'll probably need to say what options you have (looks like you have a 3.5is so everything I imagine). I have one, but not with the traction control or heated seats.
its a relatively easy swap...
Just reading your post again. To clarify can you replace each individual switch top or do you need to replace all the tops together? Hence your comment about what switches I have.clarker63 said:IRD said:Does anyone know if it is possible to replace the individual switches in the console?

Thanks again for taking the trouble to get back to me. So it is possible to change the tops on individual buttons. Like you said it seems a shame to cannibalize a decent unit but that looks the only way I will find a suitable switch top. There is a new one for sale on EBay with the same buttons as yours. The guy bought it and then never used it. He is looking for £99.99 or best offer. What sort of price are you looking for?clarker63 said:IRD said:
Supposedly you can do the tops individually...see this post, which is in the other post I mentioned above...

I do have a full unit that could be sacrificed but seems a shame for a fully working unit to be dismantled that way!
let me know if you're interested in buying it after reading the link and I can send you a better picture (this was before I removed it) !
