interior rubber finish

**dillusion13** · 01-23-2009 05:50 PM

Hey guys, I've have a B6 A4 and have that rubbery coating coming off some of the buttons. Is there some kind of repair liquid for this or are new buttons the solution? I've searched and couldn't come up with anything.
Thanks in advance.

where exactly are they coming off of?

unfortunately, we all face that problem. there is no repair paint. you can get new window swiches and headlight swiches which are fairly cheap

I just got a A4 B6 a few months ago. I am having the same issues. That stuff is peeling off everywhere. I love the interior but that stuff with scratches in it looks like crap. Anybody got any good tips?

One thing I did- there is a small piece of trim on the lower part of the insturment cluster that was scratched up- I popped this piece off and scratched/scrubbed all the rubber surface of and now it is just a shiny piece of black trim. I thought about trying to do this with all the rubber coated surfaces but that would take a long time.

now repaint it with some plasti-dip and it will look like new

I remember someone posted a few years ago that he used Krylon Camouflage Black and that it matched pretty good. I have never tried it since I mixed my own blend for touch up.

I just touch them up with a black industrial permanent marker from Sharpie from time to time. Doesn't match the texture perfectly, but does a good job of hiding it for small spots.
