Key Fob falling apart
Good Morning ladies and gents,

My key is coming apart. The top has popped off and after spending 30 minutes trying to get it back on and snap in place, it is still falling apart.

Any solutions to this?

Yes buy a new key. Swap the internals over including the blade.

Do you have a link for one that this works with. I bought one and the internals did not fit.

That seems like a great option. I am going to order that conversion kit tonight when I get home.

Its one of those things where its not the cost unless its 600 for a new key... When we got a 2nd key from the dealer it was 600 bucks between the fob and the coding... huge PITA too...
