    My 2006 Prius has the gummy, melted black goo switch cover ... so my plan is to see if I can unscrew, pop the switch out, clean and replace with a new cover.

    This


    and this


    look promising to me. The other links in this thread were dead or unavailable.

    Numerous post hear but 2006 seemed unrepresented. :)

    Links/pictures don't seem to be working, but I got mine from Ebay. Anywhere works alright, they're pretty easy to switch. The hardest part is definitely the cleaning the old gunk off.
