Can anyone share how to remove this button (PE button) on my car? Seems like it sticks - would like to try to do myself vs taking to the dealership for a day on something so minimal. I bought the car pre-owned and have a feeling something may spilled and want to explore myself - a bit scared to just pop off until others chime in.
Try electrical contact cleaner first - liberal spraying and multiple clicks should improve things before you crack open the dashboard.
Stinks though and make sure you dont get it everywhere. Lots of clean-up rags! Never used it on a Merc, but had sticky buttons on an old GTI years ago and worked a treat. Worth testing on a hidden area of dash first.
Our C43's dynamic select switch was "sticking" when actuated (suspect some pop spill) and I used small amounts of 99% rubbing alcohol squirted onto the switch. It took multiple applications, with lots of switch actuations after each application, over multiple days ... but the switch operates fine, now. I did it when the ignition was off.
Rubbing alcohol cleans well, evaporates quickly and completely and is seldom harmful to finishes or materials. It will, however, tend to remove wax/oil/grease so shouldn't be used if that would be an issue.
update - used the electrical cleaner 4x and still sticking - works great when in the moment, but the next day back to sticking - worst case when it goes in to the dealership i can mention to them and see what they say -
