Today I do not have a whole lot of time to work on this, so I just wanted to focus on something small.  Took off the VR buttons panel and noticed some gross stuff under the clear plastic showing on top of the color.

Was pretty bummed that this part was so gross looking despite how much I cleaned the outside, someone must have used a wet rag in the past and the dirty water got behind the plastic...  I was pretty sure there was nothing I could do but I looked and to my suprise everything is able to open, even the clear plastic and on the inside, I was able to clean out the buttons to look like new!
