Default Replacing sticky ***** on my PCM?

Over the past decade the two rotary buttons on my PCM system have a rubber rim that has degraded into a sticky mess. Where can I get replacement buttons? Thank you!

Try cleaning it with rubbing alcohol or goo gone. I have a 997.1 and I pulled mine off and cleaned it with goo gone. Suncoast sells replacements for about $20.

I took mine off, sprayed them with PlastiDip in black. No more stickiness. Feels just like new. Couple dollars for a can of PlastiDip.

997.1 the ***** pull off. 997.2, they are anchored with a screw. Be careful if you have a 997.2

If a 997.2, and you want to use GooGone or alchohol, do this without taking the ***** off and be careful to not get the stuff on other plastic parts.... wet your cloth. Why not take the ***** off? Because you will crack the the little caps. You must pry the caps off to get at the tiny torx screws... you will crack the caps. I have a 997.2 and just purchased replacement *****... probably could of just cleaned them with solvent... but I didn't.

Had mine replaced by the dealer a couple years ago. Not as cheap as these:
