Soda spilled on HVAC and radio buttons. Now they are stuck.

Kids spilled soda on the buttons for the HVAC and radio and now they are stuck. I have used a hot damp rag to try to loosen them up but they are still sticking badly in the cold. Can those bezels pop off to be better able to clean the buttons? Any other ideas?

Thanks

I would wet it and then try blowing compressed air?

I dunno... anything you do could ruin boards behind switches...

 
I would be tempted to try using some electronics contact cleaner.  I really don't know how well it would work, or if it would do any damage, so that might be a last resort kind of thing.
 
The contact cleaner is a good idea, if it were my truck, I would try lightly spraying an air duster upside down at it.
 
Here is a good guide on how to take it apart if they're really stubborn
