This guide will show you the process to remove the clicky spring in the volume dial, and clean the contacts thag can cause erratic volume controls.
Do take caution as when opening the shield, it is difficult to reinstall the spring. But do not worry! The smooth feeling of the dial is superior in my opinion!

The dial on the car thing is clipped on with a plastic insert in the dial rubber cover.
-
It is easy to pull off, be gentle and you should be able to pry it off with your fingers.
-
-
-
Using a small flathead screwdriver or pair of tweezers, gently work your way around the silver shield to pry it off.
-
It is held around 4 corners with clips.
-
-
-
At this point if you want to remove the spring to enjoy a smooth feel on your dial, remove the spring.
-
-
-
-
Using a cotton bud, dab the contacts in some isopropyl alcohol to clean any debris or grease that can interfere with the dial making contact.
-
Don't forget to also clean the brushes (ring with metal contacts sticking up)
-
-
-
Now reinstall the ring and the silver shield.
-
It should clip into place. Gently press on the 4 tabs to secure it.
-
-
-
Peel the clear plastic out of the rubber cover.
-
We must now align the clear plastic over the dial, there are 2 tabs thag must be aligned. Refer to the photo.
-
Once the clear plastic is installed, make sure the tabs are aligned and the rotation is smooth.
-
-
-
Once the cover is put back on, check that the rotation is smooth.
-
It should be now very easy to rotate, like your car volume dial. Just enough to rotate gently with your fingers.
