488 Sticky Buttons!

Ferrari hadn't resolved the sticky button issue by 2016?

2016 488 GTB being shipped to me soon to add to the collection. I'm sure Ferrari won't make the sticky buttons perfect during their detail of the vehicle before shipping. Also interested in this as I'll need to rehab mine too.

 

Neither have:
Acura
Alfa Romeo
Aston Martin
Audi
Bugatti
Chevrolet
Jaguar
Lamborghini
Lotus
Maserati
Mercedes Benz
Porsche
Qvale
Range Rover
and many others...

And what Ferrari did to help address the concern, is being complained about as well...

Welcome to the family in advance!

Did you ask them to address the sticky trim prior to delivery?
I ask, as we've had a new owner ask us NOT to , that the new owner would do it themselves.

PM me your email address, I will try to send you instructions.

I did ask. It would have been at an additional cost. Will tackle it on my own as it comes. My Lamborghini Huracan and Corvette Z06 are the same age or older and do not have sticky buttons, so this is new to me, but I wanted a Ferrari to add to the stable badly.

 

I think this is an absolute joke that this sticky button issue has been going. on since what…….the 348? One of the greatest car companies in the world and “ sticky buttons” is a 25 plus year issue.

 

Ferrari resolved it in the 296 by… removing the buttons for capacitive lol

 

The only actual solution is using someone like SNM or Srx. I used one of those two for my 458. Ferrari will just replace them with original equipment, so the problem will eventually appeared again. Never got around to fixing the peeling dash though…

I replaced every single button in my car. Everything. Seat controls, gas, steering wheel, reverse, etc.

 

Did you replace the surround for the child seat anchor? That gets sticky too.

 

Here is a source forr you. There are others as well.

That’s my least favorite piece in the car because the seat also doesn’t stop going back and can go into it. But to answer your question, it was already sticky when the work was beginning so it wasn’t going to be a surprise.

 

Shoot us an email, been in business for 17 years, we do work for 14 Ferrari dealers all over the world. www.stickynomore.com

 

I see you also do corrective services on some exterior grates. Have you ever considered a service to make the rear grate on the LP610-4 Huracan fresh again? It gets these white water spots that are a nightmare to remove it they bake in. So many Huracans suffer from that.

 

Like hard water spots?

 

Exactly. I've got another chemical to try next.

 

May not help OP but if you are from Aus or NZ. You want to get them fixed by Bill M. (BM Leather Creations) in Melbourne. Great guy and shop to deal with.

 

www.**********.com I just sent my interior buttons. **********

 

lol

 

Just got my buttons back from sticky Rx and I have to say they are beyond perfect! This is what the cars should have had from the factory…well worth it! Thanks Dave

 

Ferrari resolved it in the F8 with just plastic buttons.
