why is my interior pieces paint pealing off? it's very annoying
This is not my first time and This is not my second time. My A/C ( temp ) ( low high ) buttons are like flaking apart. I don't think I can order the buttons either. I think I have to order the whole a/c assembly. This is a minor issue but it all adds up to really disappoint me. The quality of the porsche shouldn't be like this in my opinion. Also I am in Taiwan now and my car is not an authorized local porsche so I get no warranty. So I guess my solution is the paint the buttons. ( this really sucks )
A quick snap shot of my interior with the same type of paint that porsche uses on most of the interior parts.

I know that on some 986 Boxsters there was an issue on the armrest cover on the doors. It turns out that it was a reaction of suntan lotion and the plastic paint that was causing the problem. I'm not making this up...

I have a Cayenne with the same issue on a # of interior surfaces especially the power window switches...seems to be the "soft touch" rubberized type paint that Porsche uses. Should be a warranty issue no matter what. Anyone else out there? Any luck with a fix?

The soft touch has been an issue on VW & Audi & Porsche. Many of the surfaces in my boxster are nicked up or worn including the door armrests and handles, ash tray, etc. My old A6 had a ton of this sort of wear on the armrests. And I don't know that it will be better in my current Rabbit. Go over to the Vortex... tons of VW's have the issue and most dealers don't do a thing about it.
These materials have been in use and failing for 10 years now. Good stuff VAG.

Resale values will reflect the cars' true quality, and we're already seeing that with the 996s. Truly the first generation of "disposable" Porsches.
