Replacement for steering wheel buttons

Can anyone help me with this? I’d like to know how to best correct or replace this without replacing the entire steering wheel if possible. See the white areas where the black has come off a little?




Does anyone have advice on how to best deal with that? Not a huge problem I know but this car is new to me. Thanks!

you can just buy a sticker on ebay that covers it. thats what most people do. cheaper than buying a whole new button

Did you use the stickers or are you talking about the original buttons?

I saw those modules on aliexpress a while ago. They actually look like they might be a better quality.
