Yeah that "soft-touch" coating on the interior buttons really just seems like a thin coat of plasti-dip before that became a thing....Or possibly executed, Germany doesn't fuck around.

:lol:
Yeah man, I replaced the stuff in the e46 when I got it, and I may do it again. At least it's not expensive. But if that's what Plastidip is like...I don't see how that stuff stands a chance on the exterior of a car. You look at it hard and it scratches.

You need to check if those are in there. If not, take them out immediately and put OEM ones in.

Without lots of lubing constantly, that's your squeak.

Yeah they're in there. I thought it was kinda interesting that there's about 1mm of play along the length of the cylinder, which means they're not 100% tight in there either. Track only thing, I guess? I did lube the hell out of them (inside only) at the same time, so maybe that's what made the chirp go away. I'll toss the OE rubber ones in the box next time I place an order, thanks!
