How to repair a car key with a broken button

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Key

In this video, we will see how to repair a remote control key with one of the buttons completely destroyed from use. If we do not want to change the entire body of the remote control, for our own reasons, we will only need some liquid rubber, or even better hot-insert rubber, that will allow us to reconstruct the destroyed button. So let's start by opening the key body, removing the electronic part inside and then placing a small piece of adhesive tape where the button is missing, from the inside. Now, with the hot gun, we build a small button right above the adhesive tape. Let it cool down well and reassemble the remote control body, which will now work perfectly.
