I just did the replacement from my salvaged 40i OEM button to my new M50i and gauged the edge of the non-crystal button a little. Might be able to soften the plastic with heat and restore the edge if needed.
What I want to know is what is the factory part number. I'd prefer an OEM part if possible. I am assuming it's not available since most are going with the aftermarket option.
