    Hello fellow 3rd gen'rs, this is what I came up with for upgrading the radio knobs (pardon the dust)...


    And it only cost me $5 for two of these. I used two size 15 silicone rings (size 14 will work too). They work great and have great grip and looks nice and sleek.

    I bought the Hondo knobs and they are great, but for the cost this is a good idea. I would have tried this for sure

    Great idea, where did you find the rings?

    Ya the hondo garage ones look great, but this is a more budget friendly option :)

    I got the size 15, it works, but i think the size 14 might be a nice tighter fit.

    I got them from wish.com (search for black silicone rings) Got them for $5 including shipping.

    Probably a decent alternative, the hondo knobs are easily worth the cost though.

    Problem is not the grip, it's that it's too flat and you fat finger it and accidentally touch the touch screen.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I ordered 14's and they still could have been a size smaller, they slipped on way too easy. They aren't coming off, but I would have hoped I would have had to stretch them a little to put them onto the knobs.

    This is an awesome idea. But I gotta support Hondo Garage. Their stuff is great.
