Another reason someone may have used the silicone is that some
uninformed people think you need to pull out one button before pushing in
another. This happened on my 60 when I had it brought here to Arizona. The
flatbed driver that brought it from the dropoff location told me it wouldn't
start. I saw several buttons pushed in at once & knew what had happened. I
had also left a screwdriver in the glovebox, as I had a feeling this might
happen. I removed the bezel, reinserted the buttons & started it
up.

I had the same problem in my '59, and it's kind of a puzzle to
figure out, but I took all the silicone off the ends of my buttons, and you
just have to get a flashlight and look in the dash where the buttons connect.
There are connectors in the dash which have two metal tabs sticking out. The
button has two slots, one on each side. These slots should slide
securely into the tabs, and hold without silicone. I think the reason people
have siliconed them is when you take the bezel off, and are not careful when
doing it, you stand a chance of pulling several buttons off the connectors.
While you're in there spay the metal connectors with a good lubricant. I now
have mine working like brand new!
