the only issue i have is the chrome part on the bottom where the key ring would loop through, mine seperates into 2 pieces, and 1 keeps falling out.

other than that, seems ok, the cut went ok, will see how things go.

No problem, just use a lightweight glue like Elmers. It will come apart no problem if you need to pry it back open one day but be strong enough to stay in place when you need it to.

so one problem i found out today while driving in vancouver with the new key...

the key and case is so long, that the wiper control arm off the steering column cant go to the fastest speed! :lol

it can go on intermediate, and low speed, but not high speed.
