How to fix a Broken GM Key Fob

I had 3 broken key fobs, electronics were good, but casings were broken at the ring. I could have ordered new covers, but at a cost of around $20 dollars each and $40 shipping to Canada..it was way over $100 with tax. My 10 year old GM is not worth that for keyrings.
This cost $1.25 + tax for wire and I have enough to fix 100 key fobs.

Step 1 Tools

Assemble your tools. Drill with small bit, Pliers, 22 Gauge wire and coin.

Thanks for sharing this! My Holden Commodore has the exact same remote and with all the keys on my keeper, they don't last very long.
I tried this using a paperclip for the wire. I find the remote closes a little easier if you tuck the wire ends (after cutting them a little shorter) back under their entry points making a small loop with the wire. Perhaps the paperclip was the wrong gauge for doing this fix as illustrated, but it was what was handy and worked routing it the other way.
