@C7toM2toGT4? Thanks! I used a left over straw and some Contact Cleaner to jimmy the buttons on the right hand side of the button group, under the AC controls:
The buttons are a bit "looser" now (not like the left set, but better). For sure I got some kind of schmutz out of the area; hard to tell but it's the black spot on the straw:
If you can de-goo your HVAC panel externally to the point that it's not annoying then all's well. It is surprising, perhaps, how far the goo can work into the panel:
Regarding the above, why I am not such a big fan of all the buttons in my 911 (though far fewer than the Macan). I like to keep the interiors of my cars fastidiously clean. I realize that not too many people like the new touch screens but the buttons have too many crevices for crap to collect and to my eyes, they have started to look very dated. Maybe I am trying to find an excuse to trade for a 992. Not going to happen unfortunately.

I hear ya.
Wife's 19 Cayenne (now sold, but that is another story) interior / infotainment stack was very sleek and well laid out. From what I've seen the 992's is similar. (I know, "not helping" ) I'm keeping my 991.2 as well, no plans to swap.

I have a new Cayenne as a loaner right now. The UI is infuriating. Do not want.
Sticky buttons are easy to fix yourself. Bad software and bad design is unfixable DIY.

Yeah, I can't quite justify to my spouse a 45k expense right now (what it will cost me I think) to trade in a perfectly good 2018 C4S (that I bought new and with no issues whatsoever) for a new 992 4s. Temptation though is always there for the next 911. The GT3 has always been a very big tempation for me but back in 2017, I couldn't get an allocation.

If you want less buttons in the interior, check out the Taycan. I sat in one a few weeks ago and it was almost depressing to me it was so bare. And kind of cheap feeling. I was so excited to see one and then left deflated. Love the exterior styling tho!
I could still be in the honeymoon phase with my 991.1 GTS, but I'm OK with all the buttons (for now... Ask me in a year!)

Odd that you would suggest that car but I am quite fascinated with the Taycan 4s. It is priced like a C4S and I did price one on the configurator ( a useless pastime I guess). I am not sold on it yet but I would love to drive one. Actually, now that I am more or less retired, I spend more time on my bicycles than my 911 so automative purchases of 100k plus have lost some of their appeal. I am still holding out for a GT3. If I am going to be driving less and less, every drive should feel special.

I think they are beautiful cars, but the interior just didn't impress me. And I also didn't care for the digital gauges. I know it's the direction things are going and the interior could grow on me... Maybe. I would love to drive one too!
And I hear you on the GT3... I have my sights on one fairly close to me. Waiting out the market. Hoping it will still be there in a few months.
