I've got a sticky headlight switch cover. I've found replacements on AliExpress, but not for my car W164 ML63 2007. I typed mine in and it comes up with a rectangular cover but mines more square.

Anyone have any luck ? Or ideas?

They only want to sell the entire switch assembly for big money

Ah ok, I use a small amount of wash powder in a bucket of hot water to wipe those surfaces down, the matierial the covers are made from and the grease/dirt on fingers makes it go sticky. I have the same issue on the keys on the steering wheel wheel of my W220 often

If you get a new one of the same material you will get the same problem.

I have the same issues on the 55 and headlight surround on the Money Pit, I started to scrap the headlight surround with my finger nail and it rolls the sticky stuff up into a ball like glue substance. The things you do when waiting in the car!!
The 55 is not the same, it want roll up into a sticky substance, looks to be of a different coating :rolleyes:
