As far as I have understood a common problem on the Maseratis. I live in Dubai,UAE and the climate could effect I guess. I have checked arround here and not much to do - either replace or live with it. All buttons replaced on my QP GTS through the warranty

Check EBay, have seen some consols there for sale.

Good luck

I also have this problem in my 2005 Quattroporte which was a Florida car. I'm sure by now you've heard this is common in Maseratis, but especially Ferraris (although you're the only other one I've seen bring it up directly so far).

Someone directed me to search sticky ferrari (i think) over on the Ferrari forums and sure enough it was exactly what we are experiencing. I'm still waiting on my car wash stuff for the exterior to arrive, so haven't tackled the interior yet and don't have any specific advice so far on how to take care of this. But when I do, I'm putting a big old helpful post up for everyone else to see.

Sticky No More looks like they work miracles, and I bet I'm going to send stuff their way, but if your interior is like mine it is ALL over and you can't really rip apart and send the entirety of the interior off to take care of all of it.
