Climate Control Button: paint vanishing?

[DigitalCal]

Okay so this is my climate control 'lower the temperature' button... and it's obscure so couldn't find a topic to suit. It appears as though the paint is chipping away?

I'd initially thought it was something that had gotten on the button, but when I tried to get it off, it seemed to be more of a scratch. Any ideas? Am I right in thinking the paint looks like it's coming away?

I've got the exact problem, just wondering if it could be painted some how. Has someone else got this problem?

I have, on my fan speed button... though haven't bothered to question my dealer about it & the warranty.

[DigitalCal]

I'm glad it's not just me. Either it's a quality issue, or it highlights the benefit of having a dial to twist rather than buttons to prod for temperature controls.

[WTF]

New one to me!

Have you enquired about warranty since posting the fault?

[DigitalCal]

Not yet... it's due for service soon so may mention it when I take it in. Driving through the tunnel the other day, the backlighting was showing through. So it appears to be a very thin coat of black paint on the button...

Ive got the same issue on my radio buttons, the Phone and Nav buttons are all being worn away, I hand my car back in 2 weeks time so will see what they say? I cant see Citroen entertaining a warranty claim as I bet interior is only covered for 12 Months.

I belive the trim is only covered for twelve months.

You people need to read your warranties.

Always! Was not directed at you by the way.

[DigitalCal]

Haha... Although to be fair, 'look at warranty coverage' has been on my to-do list for the last week or so! [emoji14]

i recently bought a 2nd hand citroen with the same problem, anyone managed to find a fix?

[Rickzayne]

Get some black nail varnish.

Not seen this before, my DS3 is almost 3 years old and no sign of this yet...

How often are you all adjusting your temperature using this button ?
