The seek button on my Shaker chipped the other day. The small piece of the flat black came off and its just bare white/opaque plastic showing. Can I replace just the button or would I need to replace the whole Shaker unit? Its not a big deal but everytime I look at it it gets on my nerves.

 

The whole head unit has to be replaced. I'm waiting on the replacement unit to show up at my dealership so they can swap mine out. Same thing happened to me.

 

Try to get it warrantied it shouldn't have broke. At least claim you didn't do anything to it

 

Dam are you guys pushing the buttons with a hook???

 

go to the dealer and tell them the cd skips they will replace it with a new one. that`s what i did

 

Same thing happened to me on the 1 button. It bubbled up and I touched it and the paint chipped off.

 

Hmmm... mine also (shaker 1000). The left "seek" button has started to glow a lot brighter green now that the black paint from the button is disappearing...

 

the black on my shaker 1000 is wearing off as well. Also the black plasitic bezel around my auto shifter is chipping too!

 

are you guys using any cleaners on them? or the bezel of the shifter for mustang05?

 

If not maybe the bulbs in the radios get hot after a while of being on? just a guess there.

 

If neither of those helped stop abusing such great cars!

 

i use Armorall...

 

armorall has had probelmss causing fading before but I havent heardd of chipping, It is said to be improved but something like that might be heating up and causing the plastic to chip, there are lights behind the radio buttons, and under your shifter bezel is your transmision, which maybe heating up excessivly due to the armoral, or it could just be the sunlight, through glass heating it

 

No Armor all here...

No long fingernails here...

No rings or jewelry here...

So I am at a loss to explain my Shaker 1000 chipping... except for crappy plastic!

 

if I had to place my bet... +1 on the 'quality' of the plastic. Ford had to cut costs somewhere to bring the GT in under $30K

 

in mrkabc's case I am also plus one but have not heard more on this problem yet so maybe it was only a certain time frame or something, I don't know

 

Mustang05, I've noticed that the paint around the shifter bezel is starting to peel off a little as well. I am not "abusing" anything at all. I keep the interior spotless and I use Meguairs Quick Interior Detailer to clean when needed. This problem should not be occurring this early on.

 

No it should not
What yrs with these problems?

 

This happened to my car as well.

 

apparently 05's?
