Ahhhh, i dont know why i didnt think of them first  :rolleye:

I just replaced mine with new ones and new buttons, they look much tidyier now and the window buttons are more responsive as mine didnt always want to play ball.

Changed my switches to chrome tipped

And replaced my grab handles with new from vw as there are not expensive

Drivers for 5 door was £13ish
Passengers for both £20ish per door

That was jct 600

Change them.....

I took the old ones off with the intention of spraying but it's a pain removing the old residue so I picked up new ones. They're cheap and a very easy job!

I ended up selling the old ones second hand to a guy who wanted to spray them...
