Has your key broken? Mine did, and would not stay on the key ring anymore. I had replacement keys made, but, they do not work very good. I tried fixing it with superglue and that didn’t work. Then I tried melting it back together with a soldering iron. That didn’t work either. Then, I got on the interwebby thingy and ordered some heat shrink tubing that you normally use on wiring. This type was coated with a special heat activated glue on the inside. I snipped off a piece the appropriate size, slid it over the break, hit it with a heat gun and TA-DA! So far it has stayed in place and works just fine. FYI. YMMV.

When mine broke, I just drilled a hole lower and thru the metal key itself. Then I cut off the broken tabs and put it back on my keychain. Works great.

That was gonna be my next move if the tubing didn't work. :thumbs

Yes, that's not regular heat shrink tube, it's the double wall adhesive lined tube. Much heavier and perfect for your application.
Good thinking and thanks for sharing this fix. :cheers
