Abstract
An over-mount structure for over-mounting a vehicle start/stop button that is mounted in a housing with a gap defined between an outer periphery of the start/stop button and an inner periphery of the housing. The over-mount structure includes a mounting body having a first, generally cylindrical, mounting portion having a wall thickness sized to be received within the gap and having an inner diameter sized to make a removable press-fit engagement with an outer diameter of the start/stop button. The mounting body also includes a second generally cylindrical mounting portion, integral with the first mounting portion and in opposing relation therewith. A faceplate is removably coupled to the second mounting portion to cover an end thereof.
