So after a couple weeks the plasti-dip is lifting up a decent amount :crying: So I just went ahead and bought those silicone coolbesta covers

Im not so sure this was solely the fault of the plasti-dip though as the significant peeling was near the lock button which I do believe I messed up a bit when I pulled the tape up. So I think if one were to say do this on a totally clean new fob and cover the whole think it may work better.

Im 50% sure this peeling was my fault from the tape removal, 50% sure it was due to pocket wear and 50% sure it was that the plasti-dip just cant handle it. Now I know what youre thinking and yes that math is correct, trust me just grab another beer and you'll see it works out :wink2:

Silicone cover is $6 and looks a little low-quality

Not sure if this new skin ( or similar others ) is an actual OEM part but I will buy a $10 shell now and replace the skin on this key when I can’t stand looking at it anymore.

I’ll let you all know about quality when it shows up.

But then, you didnt get the 2 beers. @lqdchkn wins this one, hands down. :wink2:

but i had more time to drink beer

 

[RayS]

For those who do not drink beer and go upscale with Wine (not Whine), there are leather protectors available also:

I have found them in Black with Red stitching and brown on brown. They are a bit more expensive than the plastic or silicone ones, but they do look nice and work well.

There is one more advantage to any of the covers that are a full cover, the noise from the fob hitting the steering column when you turn or hit a bump goes away. Of course, that is only true if you have your key attached to the fob.

AJT Designs is releasing a cover for the GM fob soon.

Here a picture of some of his designs.

I got excited until I realized this was a jeep key, NOT a GM key.

that said, I still want one.

I wonder if someone with a 3d printer could come up with a design that can snap around our regular key and integrate the electronics from the inside of the fob into one piece?

Hey quick question on this mod is beer brand important for it to work properly ??
Lol
I have the rubber case on my fob since a few days after I got the truck

Received the key fob surround kit from Amazon earlier in the week, was a little busy. Photos attached.

the parts look sturdy, and professionally made, but there are NO part numbers or identifying marks visible on anything. So very likely someone is copying the OEM parts in China and selling them here dirt cheap.

All parts are loose in the packaging, plastic snap-tabs are unstressed, which is nice. Will probably last longer that way. The silicone "skin" cover feels the same as the factory unit and the screen-printing of the icons is good quality.

One thing to note is that the little piece of spring metal for battery-retention and electrical contact is also loose in the package. Don't let it run away.

Factory electronics just drop into new plastic casing. For $10 I'll take it.

I didn't particularly care about protecting mine, but I thought the chrome was turbo-lame, so I bought the cover just to hide the bling.

I would like to find some silicone protectors for the steering wheel buttons, though.

Agreed. I wonder how well the steering wheel controls will hold up...

 

[Jtcolumbia]

AJT does have them for our vehicles. They just don’t have the key part connected as in the post above.

Having replaced a steering wheel recently, I'm less concerned. Those pieces are easily replaced.

yeah? and how much...

 

[Thunderbear]

About 40 bucks new. And given the amount of wrecked Twins, the used supply will be decent for a while.

I believe there is a whole nother thread on the AJT covers...

I thought about one of the silicone covers so it does not make noise flopping against the steering column

 

[htusa31]

I bought two of these.
I like it so far. They go well with the orange truck theme.
