Default Broken key replacement question.

The little tab through which the metal ring hooks on my flip key has broken. Have any of you had your dealer replace the key because of this?

Thanks

Try clair parts. You can buy just the remote piece seperate. They sell the remote piece and the key piece seperately.<p>dferr

Actually, through a somewhat long story I've learned a decent amount about the keys.

Anyhow, the dealer can cut the "blank" insert, or you can even order a pre-cut key from Clair. You need to give them the vin number and proof of ownership (IE: registration). Oh, and it's about an extra $10 to order it pre-cut.<p>dferr
