Sticky climate switches - solved

[jnwright71]

Hi All,

Having recently acquired my first Porsche (2005 Boxster S), I have been working on sorting out all the little niggles, the biggest of which was the sticky climate switches that were losing their coating.

I’ve sourced some identical decals that can be used to mask off the TEMP lettering and fan symbol to allow the switches to be refurbished using spray paint. I have done mine, it took about 3 hours in total start to finish including removal and re-fitting of the climate unit.

I had to commit to full sheets of the decals, so I have plenty left over and now for sale at £15 for 2 sets (inc delivery to mainland UK addresses)..

If interested, please PM me, full instructions will be supplied.

Many thanks, James

Hi All,

I’m trying to gauge how many to re-order, so if interested, please let me know.

Thanks, James

New stock now in but selling quickly. This is a really great mod and so easy to do - I think it will add value to your car as well. New pic below of post refurb with the back lighting working perfectly.

Perfect Christmas gift for your 987/997 With the holiday period almost upon us, why not buy a set and complete the refurb whilst off work ? Still only £15 for 2 of each decal.

Seems to me you're using this as a money making opportunity rather than passing on good advice.

Why not just post where to buy the things from and then people can buy their own.

Hi Gorsh,

Thanks for the feedback, which I do feel is a little harsh.

When I was looking into Boxster ownership, the main annoyance on all the cars I looked at was the poor condition of the climate switches. However, I took the plunge and then spent a huge number of hours to researching, liaising with potential suppliers, sampling and testing to find something I thought would work. I then took the risk with my own car to test the actual process.

Having achieved great results, I am selling these decals and making a little bit to cover my costs. In my experience this is typical of enthusiast forums. One member finds a solution and then offers a great value service / solution to others so that they can improve their own vehicles too.

They are available for sales via eBay, but I am offering them at lower cost to forum members.

Cheers, James

Hi jnwright71: I think £15 is kind of Ok if they work. I am interested. Could you send me instructions how to pay you, etc? Regards.
