Remove the steering wheel buttons. Three screws need to be removed from each steering wheel button set.
Use a hot air gun to heat the steering wheel buttons. Only heat the buttons slightly. Do not allow the buttons to melt and start deforming on their own. Once the button is warm, press it at the center to shrink it slightly. The button only needs to be made slightly smaller at the pivot point. The change should be barely noticeable to the naked eye.
