Hi!

I have a 2016 3L supercharged V6 model and the rubber/plastic covers for 2 controls switches have failed (cracked and fell off, see photo).

Can anyone help in sourcing a solution without having to buy the whole control section at a cost of in excess of £800 not fitted?

I am not aware of a separate part number just for buttons.

I presume yours were attached when you purchased the car in June (with the 6 months warranty) and have since come off.

Are there are parts numbers on the bits that have come off? Or could they be re-attached?

Thank you RPSN. Appreciate your research on e-bay. However I am useless at any car mechanics and wouldn't know where to start in removing the old and replacing with a used unit that, in and of itself, might not work just for the sake of a couple of plastic switch caps.

Instead of replacing the whole unit, perhaps you could remove the switches or switch covers from the second-hand unit and use them on yours? Alternatively, if the switch covers that fell off are no good, you could cut a suitable piece of black rubber/plastic to size and glue it into position over each switch? May not be brilliant but better than what is there now.

EDIT: Found this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005982284614.html but unfortunately it says the item is no longer available....
