The buttons on my 2005 vert sometimes stick and don't come back out easily. The buttons are the ones to the left and right of the steering wheel that you push for tripometer, tire pressure etc. does anyone have a remedy? Thanks in advance for any help!

i've had a related problem with one of my other cars. i spritzed a little wd 40 directly on the button, worked it by pressing in and out. problem solved. spray lightly and wipe immediatly.lol

My top right button has been sticking since I got my car. I'll try some WD-40 but I think they'll have to fix it under warranty.

If you want to do it yourself, the panel can be pulled and the edges of the plastic bezel can be filed down slightly to give clearance to the button.
