Sticky switches on the Ferrari 360 355 and 348

Modern Ferraris have suffered from stick switches and other dashboard items for nearly 20 years now. It started with the Ferrari 348 followed by the 355 where Ferrari coated various interior parts with a rubberised material. After a few years of regular use such as power winder switches and door pulls the coating starts to peel off - quick still in hot countries.



Here's a picture of one of the window switches on my 360 Modena. Actually the window switches are the only bits of the interior which have peel so far so maybe Ferrari have improved their coating - well a bit anyway.



I dismantled the switch so I could get to the toggle part to basically scrape off all the rubber coating. It didn't take much effort to remove it all then put the switch back together. The toggle part is now a littler shinier than the switch case, but it looks much better than having a partially peeling coating.



You remove the switches by removing the centre console which is only held in my two dome head allen bolts, so the whole job takes less than 30 minutes and costs nothing.

You can send your plastic parts away to www.stickynomore.com who will strip and re-coat your parts with a much better quality material. These guys get good reviews from www.ferrarichat.com forum.
