Default Key Fob Rubber Replacement

The rubber button cover on my key fob has ripped somehow. The key fob still works fine. Anyone know if I can replace just the button cover material?

yikes how does that happen. looks like something smashed it? would you consider getting the card lexus sells? the key fobs seem like a disaster waiting to happen because they are big and take up space in your pockets where they can get squished.

You can get a new Chinese-made case on Amazon, and just swap the electronics over, if that might be an option for you.

Nice find. Wonder if I can just pull the rubber piece out.

I have no idea how this occurred. I might have had a screw driver or something sharp in my pocket. I have a '19 so the fob has about 6 years of wear and tear.

Considering the country of origin, I'd be surprised if the measurements are exactly correct to swap out just that one piece but it might be worth a shot for $20. I was just at the dealer on Friday asking about a duplicate key and it was over $500.
