I have an 02 GLS. The metal ring at the bottom of the key underneath the unlock button was broken off when I bought the car. I was wondering if it is repossible to replace this piece? Can I buy a key and transfer all of my current key parts into a new housing that is intact? I am trying to get inside my key but I cannot seem to open it up. How have you guys opened up your keys?

Thanks.

First of all, is this what half of your key looks like? Does it have this style metal ring? If the answer is yes, then you can't just repair it, unless you glue it back on or something. The proper way of fixing your problem with this style of remote is to just buy a new remote.

i was hoping for a different answer but oh well.

Mine broke too. I keep Krazy-gluing it but it breaks again as soon as I drop it.

My dad glued it with some sort of industrial epoxy...I will see how long it lasts.

I tried to glue mine, and gave up. I just ended up replacing the bottom half of the FOB.
