Default Radio ***** are sticky after cleaning?????

WTF, I just cleaned the inside of my 996 for the first time. I was cleaning the dash with some of my trusty windex, and the radio ***** (Becker 220) went demonic on me.....

They were fine before cleaning, but now they are gummy and sticky? Do I have to go to the dealer for new rubberized covers? I know the shiny buttons already had to be replaced by PO because I saw it listed as warranty replacement on one of the receipts.

Has anyone had any experiences like this? Can I just use Gumout or some other cleaner until it is not sticky anymore? It was like there was a coating put on the *****?

YUCK!

Give the good folks at SW Stereo a call at 1-800-270-BEST www.swstereo.com, I purchased new ***** from them. Once the old ones go gummy they are throw aways.

Windex can do that. It's best to just use a damp cloth.

Are you sure you were just "cleaning" the *****?
