i think it's due to the way that they car was built.
maybe there's too much pressure there

<------- another victim of the crack... although i found it very strange that the salesman at dealership said this was common with the "ROTARY ENGINE"........................................... ... i sure hope he meant with the "RX8"!

This is weird, because the test car I drove had a crack on the defrost button. It was dusk and I didn't notice it until I turned on the lights. I have made sure to check mine ever since I saw that, and I don't have a crack, yet...

This is a "MRI" and my dealer had to search for it on the MZ tech site.

Rear defroster button developed a crack about a week ago. Are they replacing ALL of the buttons with new ones, or just the ones that are cracked? If this is a manufacturing or design defect, they should be replacing the buttons at risk for failure.

Gets Worse
Same switch cracked in March about 2 weeks after I had car - thought it was the cold Canadian Winter.
The switch opposite cracked last week.
I suppose they'll all go, eventually

Mine's cracked also
Hey all,
Just noticed that mines cracked also. My car was born on 11/03 and I've had it for a week. I just read this post and went and checked mine. Well what do you know!! Its cracked, guess I'll be taking it in to get that fixed and my steering wheel straightened out.

rev it up
Looks like we have an epidemic of cracks with the defrost switch. I noticed it early ...soon after delivery but did nothing due to the inconvenience factor. However thanks to this forum it seems that it is a widespread occurance and I will approach my dealer.

Replaced both front and rear defrost buttons on mine. It was done within a day. Word of advice: Point out that there are no scratches on the piano black surface as well as the surrounding vinyl while you're showing the service manager the cracks. All these surfaces are prone to get scratched as the dumb mechanic tries to pry out the face plate.
