I guess we all have this problem with the hazard button. After a few years, the rubberised coating starts to become tacky to the touch and attracts dust and dirt.

This is a problem with many cars (I understand even Ferraris have this rubber coating on some switches).

Does anyone know a way of getting rid of the stickiness? 

[Doctor Gollum]

Car plan tar spot remover followed by Ambersil foaming upholstery cleaner.

Thanks DG, I'll try that!

Well, I've got rid of the stickiness, but the triangle motif is half-gone now. 

I was wondering if the Vectra C/Signum switch is the same as I might buy this:

Pull the switch. There should be a GM part number and/or Opel KAT code on it somewhere. Either embossed on the plastic housing or perhaps a paper label.

How hard did you scrub it

Vectra one won't work, it might look like it's the same shape, but the switch it goes into is completely different

Ah, OK. Thanks.
