05 Saab 9-3 chipped console buttons - Saab Forums

When I picked up the Saab there was a couple chips in the console buttons, so just the white is showing. I got such a good price and had to have them order a key for it, so I didn't have them fix it. Does anyone know of a way to fix the buttons, or is there a place that I could order new ones? I figure if I sell it in the next couple years it may help. Plus it just looks better that way.

If it's just the black coating that has chipped off I find that a permanent black marker hides the chips. You may have to apply a second dab a day later (gives the first dab good drying time).

If the chip goes into the white text you either have to be an artist or talk with a junk yard about scavanging pieces out of a dashboard or control unit (climate control, radio, etc).

Good Luck.

So I found a button replacement kit on SaabUSAparts.com. It has the front ac buttons and everything. The kit $70 US. A little pricey for a few plastic buttons, but its the only thing i have found so far.
