Default New to Chevy

I just got a 2009 Chevrolet Suburban LTZ and I'm loving it! I just ordered a map disc for $60 on eBay. I'm going from version 4 that I currently have to version 8. I ordered primer, color and gloss paint pens to fix up little marks around the vehicle.

I would like to fix the climate control buttons up front, which seems to be an issue on these vehicles. They get all nasty after a while I guess. I would also like to change out my driver and passenger side door handles as the chrome has started to peel. Anyone know any good sites that have these products? Maybe a site you had personal experience from? I can't seen to find the climate buttons but there are many sites with the door handle, but I don't want to commit until I have more info. I also need to get some gorilla super glue as the side chrome strip is coming off on one end and one of the back up sensors is coming off easily if you touch it.

For the climate control buttons, I found this site: Repair your faded and scratched Air Conditioning, Radio, Sterring Wheel buttons today!

I'm looking for a used Suburban and going through online pics of countless Suburbans, the climate control buttons consistently stick out as a cosmetic issue. I haven't pulled the trigger on a Suburban or the climate control button fix, but I have it as a ready reference for when I do. Good luck with your vehicle!

Thanks for the website. I checked it out. It's a cheaper fix than replacing the whole unit. I can't believe these buttons don't just come out, you actually have to replace the whole unit. That makes it a lot more expensive to fix. I wonder if Chevrolet, I'm sure they are, are aware of this issue. Big manufacturing boo boo that it's so widespread. The only thing I don't like is that these are basically stickers. $40 for stickers for both sides of the climate control. Again, it's either that or full replacement.

If anyone knows of a good place for driver and passenger door handles please let me know!
