Don't know about the FCD button (I don't think I've used it since the first few weeks), but the trip button does wear and eventually becomes inoperable. There are two solutions, both of which involve removing the instrument panel (which isn't that difficult, surprisingly). There are two small printed circuit boards, one on each side of the panel, that hold microswitches for the trip button, and the other two similar switches on the left (can't remember what they do). Simplest, if you don't use the left-side buttons, is to just swap the two boards. Otherwise, you can order replacement switches and solder them in. Instructions can be found at InsightCentral, just search for "trip button repair".
