Has anyone else experienced this? The black homelink button is now almost all white. The paint on the homelink button has worn off! Just wondering if this is very common. I don't have fingernails so I wouldn't expect the button to wear just from everyday use....Thanks

 

mine is chipping off too....nothing a little sharpie cannot fix

 

Take it into the dealer and see what they can do.

 

Mine was worn when I bought it (used) and Lokey Infiniti in Clearwater warrantied it out for me no problem. Good luck.

 

I'm taking it in next week with my 45K service. The service advisor didn't seem very receptive when I told her about the paint chipping off. She said she would look at it. Cross my fingers!

 

Don't take no for an answer, they'll fix or go to another dealer.

 

I bet they can just change the button, they were going to do that for my keyfob remote on my '04, but I traded the same day...........

 

Just switch to another button. I have 3 available.

 

Sure, but it still looks like crap.

 

Yep, mine chipped off also... Cheap paint

Hopefully the button on my new 06' FX35 will last longer

 

I don't believe it's paint, it's more of a thin plastic coating I think. Are these mirrors actually made by HomeLink?

 

GenTex makes the mirrors.

But it seems to be a issue with peoples fingers and the person. Some people have more acid in there skin and it will eat away at the buttons. Even the remote to the alarm of the car usually is the first sign of it.

 

I had it happen on my Z. I put clear fingernail polish on the G. So far, so good....

 

It might be worth it to look into a piece of clear vinyl, like they use on vinyl signs, then place it over the button once it's replaced, it would be easy to trim away the excess, you might be able to get a scrap from one of those fast sign shops in your area.

G35_TX, you make a good point about acid in the skin. My keyfob was just from having it in my pocket, my previous Ford fob's never rubbed off though.

 

A couple of excellent ideas. Although a quality product would not chip or scratch off like this...I hope they cover this under warranty. If not, there is one other dealer in town. I will find out on wednesday!
