Valeo Key Fob Rubbers?

I was going to order a replacement key fob case from the bay, but spotted a set of replacement rubber buttons. It looks like you just cut out your old button section and slip these in under the case. They are 2 buttons mounted on a strip of rubber. The only downside that I can see is the possibility of moisture getting down the side of the buttons. I'll take some pics when it arrives. The last case that I replaced ended up with a slightly wobbly key, so I kept that as my spare.

Hi

if what you have ordered is what I got (sounds like it) you just have to open the key as if you are replacing the battery, take the chip out, remove the old rubber and reverse the process. Easy to do but I found that removing the residue of the old rubber on the outside where the buttons protrude did damage slightly the plastic fob itself which appeared to be quite soft. Good luck.
