Fixed my switchblade key FOB over Christmas. This FOB is very tricky to take apart without breaking the unit. Luckily I had a doner FOB that I was able to experiment with before trying to pry apart my own. The key, it turns out, is to use a dryer or a heat gun to the bottom part of the remote before prying that last bit apart. That will free up the glue enough to pull it apart without damage. Beats paying a fortune to the dealership for a new key!!!
