Climate control rear panel sticking control buttons

It is possible to tease the button back out using a very fine blade, so buying you some time before getting it replaced.

I’ve had the panel out a couple of times to try and work the button. Works great out of the surround but sticks once back in place. Simple to pop out but I would rather get it fixed properly.

A tiny bit of contact spray solved it for me, until VW was finally able to source a replacement part (after I had them look at it!). Took them several months due to backorders in 2021… but after applying the tiniest amount of spray it worked flawless for me until replacement. I think it just neede some lubrication, in fact.
