the power/volume button yes but i think youre talking about the big center button correct?
i think i remember reading in some forum years ago about popping it straight up but i would not try it
i had a scratched button and there was times i wanted to just pop it off
but was scared
months ago i got a replacement unit to replace my unit which also had sticky buttons
i swapped the guts of the two units (basically exterior of 3g and interior 2g) .. it worked great
my power/volume button worked
cleaned the rubber liner and sticky buttons cleared up
plus the top cover looked great
when i made the swap i had the older unit open
although i did not try to pop main button off.. it did looked like it could only be removed from the inside... i remember it lookig like it would be damaged if forced up and out... theres like a copper ring plate that holds it in place
i took some pics that i can look up or even better since i still have the old unit i guess i can reopen it dbl check and or retake pics
heres a link

I'm not entirely convinced that removing the top layer solves the issue, since that would assume there's another layer beneath it. Can someone 100% confirm that? how many layers are there?

I have a '06 A6 and the main control **** started to bubble up, but its not paint it's like a vinyl and underneath it is black paint so I just removed the vinyl that was bubbling up. I removed it with my finger nail and now it looks just like it did before it started to peel. shrugs.
