Help I Scratched My Map Button

I was installing my D3 today, as I was guiding all the wires in behind it I managed to just brush it against my gear shift lever (which had the knob off exposing a sharp edge). Just enough to put a nice zig zag scratch mark in my Map button.

 

It's pretty light, it wont catch a finger nail so it might buff out. Has anyone had success buffing a scratch out of this plastic before?

 

If it wont buff is it possible to replace this button?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

The only thing I can think of, is to go to Wally World and buy some ScratchX...with the waxes and stuff. I would just use a little bit and a Q-tip. Hopefully it's not too deep, and it'll come right out. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell ya...

You wont be able to just get the one button, they will sell you the entire row of buttons, and it wont be cheap.

Thanks I am going to order one of those buttons in case the scratch doesnt rub out.

 

Does anyone have a how-to on replacing the buttons?
