It seems like I often need to take my eyes off the road to adjust the temperature because I can’t adjust by feel of the buttons. I wish the temperature controls had a raised minus and plus symbol on them.

Has anyone found or used a nice raised or textured sticker for their buttons on the main console? I want something that won’t lead to goopy adhesive in summer heat. Anyone found another good solution?

No guarantees it doesn't go off topic with dampers or 303 though. :rolleyes:

I drive more than my fair share. I just don't understand the need to futz around with the HVAC every half mile down the road.

Certainly not enough to stick little rubber doodads allover my dash.

Put in Auto. If it's cold out hit defrost or max defrost as needed. Done.

Do you folks operate your home thermostat the same?

Might find them in a hardware store too. I think they call them cabinet bumpers; not sure how small they might have though. I do remember buying some for some purpose I can't remember.

Can you use 303 on a damper?
Afaf
I'm not sure as I have never used 303 except the convertible top cleaner which is ok but wouldn't try it on the damper.
I'm sure it wouldn't hurt and would give it a nice shine and make it easy to clean. Maybe even open a little quicker especially in freezing weather. I'm thinking this was covered here previously but couldn't filter through all the damper and 303 threads to find the answer.
I guess this post just made that worse.
