The radio buttons are "peeling" on my CR220. (I need new ***** also.) See pics below. I did a search, and the general concensus is "replace the radio." Has anyone taken a simpler/ cheaper approach?
Becker claims to have a faceplate service to repair the buttons and replace the sticky ***** for $100. They also sell just the *****, but not buttons, for about $12.50 each. Has anyone used the faceplate service with any success?
Anyone tried a DIY repair of the buttons?
Thanks,

Wow, sorry to see that. Do you use some type of harsh cleaner on the buttons?
I replaced the ***** on my 2000 C2 but the buttons still look OK.
I agree with the person who recommended getting a used replacement.

The radio looked like that when I bought the car a few months ago. Apparently, the button peeling is a common issue. The PO must have used some harsh cleaner on the *****. It hasn't been at the top of my list to fix, but it's starting to bug me.

**** fix that I did was very successful, bought spray Plasti-Dip at Home Depot and sprayed the ***** after sanding them to a good shape. Use light coats. ***** now looks brand new and have much better grip.
I have the same peeling problem on the buttons. May try some black marker and clear nail polish; no real solution out there!
