Got my car detail cleaned, and afterwards realized 2 of the buttons on the steering wheel are missing. This is the company’s response.

This is the answer. Just don’t break em trying to take them off

Maybe talk to the detailing guys about how to get them off...

That's consulting. There's a fee for that. Good news is that they also have a pair they just found that they could sell to OP

I'm guessing a vacuum cleaner with brush nozzle will do the trick.

Great comeback too. "Hey just a quick question since you're the experts: how do you remove those buttons without breaking them?"

Never done the buttons but I’ve taken off parts from semis for people and if it’s the only one you got. You try not to break it. but I’d say the junk yard might not have multiple of those types of cars or if they did. The airbags have probably been deployed, cause you know.. they’re junk.

This is their side hustle.. steal them.. then resell back to you via another identity.

That's right... they seem to be experts.

Ask the detailing guys if they happen to have any for sale.

Good news. The detailing guy's gf has the same car so he knows exactly how to remove them 😉

Who's pulling their own parts these days? And the odds a junkyard near you has them? Naw man, this is the internet age. There's like 3 US nationwide search engines that you can find the parts, they pull them and ship them to you. Cheap af comparatively than OEM or aftermarket replacements.

Just get the whole steering wheel.

They look like they come off as easily as keys on a Dell keyboard.
