Technical 500 Key Dismantling

[Pathaleon]

Does anyone know how to dismantle the key? My switchblade key isn't fully holding itself shut and I wanted to replace the housing so that it does!

The outer plastic housing just clips on but tends to break when you pull it apart, not an issue if you're replacing it at the same time replace the "rubber buttons" these are also cheap and makes the whole lot as new genuine covers start at about £15

The cover I have on it is new anyway just wanted to refresh the insides without breaking the PCB or transponder.

Looking online I can't seem to find any guide or video etc..

I looked this up within one hour of getting my new 500 home! My ONLY fob is in a shocking state, would like to get it fixed before I head over to Fiat to spend 100££££££s on new replacement keys

Please let everyone know if it is helpful to you, thankyou

Thanks I have looked before on google but I put Fiat 500 in the search and nothing much came up.

My flip key won't stay shut any more but it's being replaced under warranty!
