It seems that some of these newer type of plastics get sticky over time. Some of the higher end cars such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati have the same problem with interior trim pieces. People have been complaining, and replacing these parts is much too expensive. For items like that, there is one company called Sticky No More which refinishes the parts. I've never used them and I'm not sure how good they are.......However, they seem to have good reviews.

My 2002 Maserati Coupe had that soft touch crap everywhere. Stickynomore had a great reputation on the Maserati forums. I fortunately didn't have too much wear, and was able to use the spray cans of Plasti-Dip to touch up my chipping buttons. It is a fantastic match for the soft touch black stuff, just spray it into a bowl and dip your brush from there.

I believe Suncoast sells the knobs, and I'm sure Pelican can order them as well.
