Sticky Radio Knobs

This is such an easy, inexpensive fix. Remove them from the radio, wipe them thoroughly with rubbing alcohol until all sticky residue is gone. Put them back on the radio. Looks as good as new. I can't imagine why anyone would bother dipping them in liquid plastic or bother buying replacements.

Im guessing you have drink holders above your radio?

Sticky knobs are no mystery in that case...dumb design.

Its true that some folks get a nervous excitement while driving their 986, so perhaps thats the cause

It's a degradation of the rubber, not due to foodstuffs. I cleaned mine with alcohol in December 2010 to remove the sticky rubber, and they're still in good shape now.
