S3XY Button Poll: Where'd you stick 'em? And how good did they stick???

[jsmay311]

For those of you who installed the S3XY Buttons in your vehicle and have had them installed for at least 6 months...

What surface types did you try sticking your S3XY Buttons to? And did the buttons stay stuck to those surfaces, or did they fall off eventually?

Here is the list of surface types I'm including in the poll, along with specific examples of each type of material. (This is based on the interior materials in my 2018 Model 3 -- other vehicles may have some differences.)

• Plastic: Center console (top or rear), steering column cover, front face of arm rest, front of bottom spoke of steering wheel, etc.
• Soft rubber: Glovebox, top of dash, door trim, etc.
• Hard rubber: Back of steering wheel.
• Metal: Back of center screen.
• Wood: Dash trim.
• Other. (Please include a comment indicating what surface you tried.)

You can make multiple selections. "Other" could be leather, glass, ... not sure what else.

Please include any comments that you think would be informative for others deciding where to locate their buttons.

Thanks!

I have two stuck at the end of the center armrest, where my fingers fall (towards front of car). They are virtually invisible and they have stuck perfectly. I have one behind the center screen, near lower left corner, again invisible and has stuck perfectly. My fourth one is at the back of the center console under the vent, between the usb ports, so rear passengers can trigger heated seats. It's not on a perfectly flat surface and yet it has also stuck perfectly. I've gone through a Quebec winter (-20C and lower sometimes).

That’s interesting, as I have read other reports that said buttons did not stick reliably to the back of the screen. Maybe it depends on the local temperatures, or even how clean the surface was before installation.(?)

Thanks for sharing.

2 on the back of the steering wheel, 2 on the rear of the center console (high-ish, above the vents). Cleaned lightly with alcohol and stuck them on. No problems so far.
