Hello to everyone. The photo says it all, including PANIC. The plastic over the "lock" button has simply crumbled away. The key still works for all functions but I'm concerned about something getting inside the button or moisture.
I was wondering if anyone has a DIY repair that they would share? I'm not to keen on duct tape or some other sort of "repair", but could I change the plastic case?
It looks like I might need to start gathering all of my proof of ownership documents and a handful of cash, and heading to the dealer for a new key.
I started this thread thinking that I would need to probably buy a new key for $250+, with the second key not far behind. But thanks to the help and encouragement of members like luigi4, instead of $500 for new keys, I spent $16 on two new shells and 20 minutes of video later....just like brand new.
Thank you luigi4!
