Got everything I needed, plus a nice stockpile of replacements in case I need them, or in case I want to be one of those assholes who sells individual buttons on eBay for $20 each (I don't).  |
Nice score. They look like they will clean up just fine. I find if you install them with a dab of silicon on each of the locking "tabs" you will NEVER have a problem again. It's what I have been doing to each of the ones that comes off.
Unfortunately the wife found a couple of the failing caps before I did. The vacuum's impeller wheel did a nice job of pulverizing them I found after searching through the dust bag.
