Garmin radar (RVR315) - anyone NOT have the top button disintegrate?

This is my second RVR315 where the rubber button at the top has deteriorated, eventually leaving a hole at the top. This seems like a design flaw to me but am curious if others are seeing this failure or if maybe it’s environment specific (hot, humid climate for me). I reached out to Garmin support and they offered a refurb unit for $80. I asked if there had been any update or change to the design and was told rather vaguely “the buttons have been fixed” but of course they can’t guarantee it won’t happen again. Anyone have experience with an updated button on the RVR315? Yes I do realize the RTL515 exists, but from what I’ve read its light is not very bright and I already have a nice niterider blinky that I prefer to use. Thanks in advance.

Mine is fine

Not an RVR315, but it looks like the same construction…

I have had an RTL510 forever, it still looks like new. Same with my two friends with the radar light versions.

You’re right about that… I have one from 2019 that is still working fine…
