edthedollar Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hi, I've got an 06 Cayman S, and the interior is spotless apart from the paint, or rubber covering, starting to peel off the heating control switches. Is there a fix without replacing the whole unit which costs around £600 new from Porsche, and is currently working fine? An American company offer a refurb service, whereby you send then the whole heating unit, they refurb all the switches and send it back, which seems abit drastic & hardly cost effective. I also found a company who sell masking transfers, so you can remove and replay your own switches, but knowing my luck, thats a recipe for two broken switches and a lot of foul language... Any ideas please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryb Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hi This company sell replacement switches, still not cheap though. http://www.climarepair.com/porsche-replacement-switches-for-climate-unit-v-3/ Barry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11891952 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'd be interested to hear how you get on with them if you do get them. Mine has the same issue (as I think a lot do), and it's working it's way to the top of the niggle list. Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushman Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 mine is the same. I might wait for dryer weather and get out there with a bottle of the wifes black nail varnish and a steady hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, i haven't ordered them yet, but will do in the next day or two - Once they arrive, I'll post some pics and an honest view on how easy the installation is, and the final look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scott1967 Posted November 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2018 It’s Halfords ceramic rubberised paint I’ve got my wife to very carefully paint on nail varnish basecoat then she sprayed the rubberised paint into Ritzel lid and painted that on very carefully too Honestly you can’t tell it’s not the original I’ve got enough paint to do 500 switches haha We plan on doing my wife’s Carrera 4 S switches at the weekend I’ll post a step-by-step photographic diary 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
