i have 06 gs300 and my volume button on the steering wheel is loose. Any advice? Do I need to replace it or can I fix it?

Mine's a little loose but if you just push it down flat it stays in the right position. Out of habit I use the steering wheel buttons for track selection and the console **** for volume. At least in the GS the **** is not a far reach

Only way to know is disassemble the piece and look inside on what is broken. USUALLY it is just the rubber and it is not replacable with another rubber insert, so yeah, I would look for a replacement if it bothers you.
